Down to about 220, top 160 place, Roughly right above the bubble sitting with only 11 BB left, pick up KK...MP player has limped into two pots before with AA and KK, was only really worried about him holding a hand and in fact he did have AA. Button held JJ and was really hoping just to get all limpers to fold and double up off all the callers. Should I have folded? or good time to make a stand with hand?

Of course not. Giving up the chance to seriously accumulate chips just to sneak in the money is very -EV and tight weak.

In a tournament, the rule basically goes: never fold KK preflop (except for satellite situations.)

Is this post seriously asking if it should fold KK preflop?
