Default meh, i hate folding KK.

Nordic bet, swedish online champ. 2.5 million ggrt.

First lvl 25/50 blinds with both me and villian at approx starting stacks of 10k

I find kk utg and raise it to 150, mp1 (no solid read but its been maybe beetween 1-2 orbits and he hasnt really done anything yet, later in tourney a tagread is apparent) makes it 500 to go, all else fold.

call or 4-bet? 4-betting makes it easier to play but since i "never" lay down KK for fear of AA my default is for more value out of lower pps when this deep. Here i can tell u we were 2 players at computer with a 50/50 money investment. He likes a 4-bet more cause he wanna "know" if villain got AA.

But its a call.

Flop 98 2 two spades. lead or what? my plan is to bet call, bet repush unless i really get a reason to think im beat.

so i bet 550, a halfpot bet. Villain makes it 1500. i call.

Turn 9. pot is 4k

i continue with plan A and bet halfpot again. and villain pushes without much thought, not instantly but pretty fast.

This is where i start thinking the easy road isnt all bad, while puking my guts out obv, hence the title...
My friend really wants to fold and i donīt like to fold as played but gotta agree AA is a likely possibility.

what do you think?, is there a way to play this hand with this line and find a fold here?

QQ will play like this very early on too, IMO. JJ might, just might do this, very player dependent. Seriously doubt I can fold here.
