folding KK preflop

[rwb78]

UTG was 20/13/0.65 over 50 hands.

I could only think of AA and I folded the hand.
What are your opinions on this play?

Never fold KK preflop

Here is a post that I posted in last week regarding a similiar spot. There are numerous ones. Without getting back into detail, the general consensus is dont fold KK preflop for 100bb's. There is more info in the FAQ's etc regarding this, since its a common question.

And he doesnt ever have ak or qq here?

This is just not a good fold.

learning a lot here the last few day [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] Thanks ! It is indeed the related post what goes trough my mind &gt;&gt; KK losing to AA where there is a range of other hands left.

You should never fold KK preflop for a buyin.

I cant imagine myself ever folding KK pf but I have noted that the last 3 times I 4bet with KK and villain insta shoved he had AA each time. Usually guys will think for a little bit about history and crap before they shove JJ, QQ, or AK, AQ. But I guess the instashove could be done out of frustration, drunkeness, or anger so my observation is probably worthless.

Stats help with this. If the villain has like a 1.5 PF raise %, you can be pretty sure you're up against AA. Otherwise, I think you need to play it
