Would you ever fold pocket kings preflop ?

vladikov · Nov 19, 2021

Yes, and I did it in a situation against 3 or more all-in players before the flop

Maybe once or twice they let me down having the Kings makes me nervous

at a big tournament with high entry maybe i would fold because i have experience with loosing with such a Hand :/ but it also can be that i fold Aces because i loose in the last time so many ttimes and saw cracked Aces
Luck and Experience is the key to success

Not normally being such a strong hand. Only one hand bats you. Bubbles of satellites can always be an exception if guaranteed to go through and calling will cost you your seat.

HeiligerKevin · Nov 19, 2021

I think I would never fold pocket aces preflop, except I know the game is rigged, due to that it's just such a strong hand.

nimburkx · Nov 19, 2021

ill fold if its satelite and if its buble and if i have enough chips and depends how many bb is going to cost me to see the flop

hi

how will I fold the "КК" before the flop? I will never do it, even if the opponent has AA, we still have a chance, but the chance for aces is small right now

I never fold AA and KK preflop. And at the distance I am in +.

Preflop there is no way I would fold the second best hand possible. And there are a lot more hands, even speculative that I would only fold to an all in. However, to multiple all ins I wouldn't even fold those.

On the other hand, I think I have lost more than I have won with KK in rush poker. That's just my luck, but I know, in the long run, I will get my payback.

luckyrnmd · Nov 20, 2021

killbello · Nov 20, 2021

i am not talking about a bubble situation in a tournament but in general both in tourneys and cash games but especially in cash games

would you ever fold KK preflop ?

In theory, a third reraise means a pair of pocket aces. But I very much doubt that there will be a lot of people in the tournament who want to fold a couple of kings preflop, even if it comes to all-in. In cash games, such a situation is unlikely, since a player with a good hand is unlikely to want to push you out of the fight, forcing you to all-in, relying only on the blinds. But nevertheless, if such a situation happens, especially for the first time during the session, then in this case it is very easy to fold the kings. It all depends on your current stack and your bankroll versus buy-in

stil370 · Nov 23, 2021

no. i dont even think its necesssary o elaborate

oarroyo · Nov 23, 2021

I always raise with KK, I don't let them see the flop for free! I would never throw my kings pre flop

bra01 · Nov 23, 2021

I will fold KK when the bubble for one person to the money

Kraanjhb7 · Nov 23, 2021

Online easily. Real live poker I would go for it depending on stack sizes position in tournament etc.

ChubbySin · Nov 28, 2021

Depends

In my opinion it never should be folded, however I fold even Pocket Aces in certain moments, depending the tourney stage, how short stacked are my opponents and many more...

In 15 years playing poker, I learned to play without cards is so important as play with cards.

yago541 · Nov 28, 2021

Never

I never give up with a KK in my hand

yago541 · Nov 28, 2021

I agree

WaumpataMaikaefer · Nov 28, 2021

Once shortly before the money I folded KK to an allin.
Were AA

Pokerpoet2 · Nov 28, 2021

Every hand has it's own merits, even Pocket 2s will beat Pocket Aces, or Pocket Kings, if the right cards hit the table, when it come's down to an all-in situation, it is always a coin flip, where anything can happen, there is no skill involved, just pure luck of the draw.
Poker skill's come from betting enough to make a player fold on the River, even though he has the best hand, and has you beat, but not good enough to be considered a "nut hand".
I consider every opportunity to beat my opponent, and if it comes to an all-in situation, I will only raise if I am willing to call an all-in, from them, in a Live game I once raised from the Hi-jack position with 8/8 and the BB pushed all-in with pocket Aces, I counted out my chip's and found I would be risking about a third of my stack and called, knowing he probably had me beat, before the flop, I hit a third 8 and took him out of the game.
If I had played Pocket King's in the same situation, I would have done nothing different, in fact the only difference would have been, my Kings would have lost against his Aces.
That's Poker!

When the fun Stops, STOP!

Когда как....если олл-н то можно и задуматся

Claudiunm · Nov 28, 2021

It's always a tough choice. We have to analyze the situation, as there are many variants involved:
1- What position are you in.
2- What is your stack size for the proposed all-in
3- How many have already entered
4- Possibility or not of re-entry

Only on these questions can I decide.

kkuk · Nov 28, 2021

hello.I can do it, I can even do aces on the flop.

tt124f · Nov 28, 2021

When it is a 3-way all-in, usually you get 50-60% equity. We need to figure out whether we want to risk our tournament life considering the payout jump.
