I once layed down Kings Pre-flop

It made me feel all cold inside, and the very next day, I listened to Morrissey CD's, had 2 boxes of chocolates and cried at Titanic

A dangerous omen

Only time you should ever do it is if you know without a doubt that someone has pokect aces and is trying to trap you. But with 169 possible card combinations that someone could hold (not counting suits), that's a bit of a challenge. Play the damned things, because odds are in your favor of having the best hand.

That said, I've been busted from live tournaments twice with pocket aces, and never by pocket kings.

What if it goes bet, raise, reraise, reraise all in...action to you, three behind still to act with one player already all in, having three players show considerable strength before he acted?

Also assume all stacks are equal in size, 200bb.

If you don't fold kings here you are a moron.

This is not the default play here. If the pusher is a rock, then your argument stands.

Good advice.
I usually play my kings. While my sample-size is still not too huge I have found that they have been quite profitable for me.
I have decided that kings are a pretty good hand.
However, sometimes they lose. And that makes me sad.

The pusher doesn't have to be a rock to fold here. He would have to be the most loose, wild player on the planet NOT to fold here. Or a complete moron who doesn't realize what he has just done. But it's safe to say that 99.9% of the time you fold KK here.

In the games I play in, it would be far from standard to fold in this spot, opponent-dependent.
