Would you ever fold pocket kings preflop ?

lucas_t_rex_ · Mar 14, 2021

case by case

it depends on how many you play in the hand, I wouldn’t fold if it was just a player raising, and even better if my pot is high, why not risk it

MURDACK · Mar 14, 2021

Short answer no... There is one set of cards that is ahead of me so I will go for it... All in if I have too...
Call me a mad man....

I almost never won against a KK Pre-Flop, so I always go for it.

pedro1590 · Mar 14, 2021

KK

I mean I say I could get away... but that is probably because we all like to pretend we can make hero folds!

I could fold only against one player is we got to 5th or 6th bets pre flop and they had raised early.

or if I had 3BBs at the bubble and it was 3+ handed if I called.

If I am first to act and short I am probably always shipping.

Never say never

2 handed probably not, but if the action gets wild and 4 or 5 people are determined to see the flop no matter the cost then sure, Best preflop hand no matter what it is, isn't safe 5 handed.

turrui262 · Mar 14, 2021

depends a lot on the situation, but only if you have the whole table all in

lesson · Mar 14, 2021

it is difficult to decide on this, although it is necessary sometimes. But I never fold

RUNRRUNRTO · Mar 14, 2021

I’m never folding Kings pre in a cash game but I have occasionally done it in tournaments but only under very special circumstances

Hi there

No Never
This is the second best hand

In tournaments after loosing with AA from bad card's it happen because 4 players go all in and decided to fold and be in prizes with less chips than leave tournament from simple cards

gryllz_wins · Mar 22, 2021

Depends on the situation, what stage of the tournament we are in, our chips, what other players did before action got to us.

rmcmullen2003 · Mar 22, 2021

it seems like everytime I have KK and end up all-in pre-flop, it never fails that someone ALWAYS has AA. Ok maybe not every time but it happens all to often for me to just say KK is an automatic all in pre-flop. Also, there is a big difference between shoving and calling villain's all-in pre-flop. There are so many variables and factors to consider in hands like this and the question has no right or wrong answer.

riff_raff312 · Mar 22, 2021

I agree with you mcmullen i would call at preflop with pocket KK's rather than shove allin because of the chance of someone having AA

I really don't think I could, even in a tournament. Looks to good to me

Cinhos_2000 · Mar 22, 2021

Well, I guess there are some occasions where I'd fold KK preflop
1) I'm playing a sattelite and already have my place guarateed.
2) Multiple all ins and the pay jump would make a difference in my life.
3) Really deep tournament and maybe 3 all ins before me with some 4 and 5-bets involved.

igroksash · Mar 22, 2021

I don’t even remember that I would fold KK, especially on preflop, they come so rarely.

liviuplayspoker · Mar 22, 2021

No, i would never fold KK preflop, even if He would have aces, i Block so much hands that would beat me like AK, i dont Block Aces, but the odds that hes get Aces are only 270 to 1, even if He would have Aces, i would nevertheless have 20% equity to win it, so much hand habent even that, even if i would foldet Pocket Kings and i see that he haves AA it would be a hero fold, but if i would do that in long run, i lose money, because i fold the second best hand!
Conclusion: If you fold KK, you will WILL lose money, because your Hand doesnt pay the money it have to, because it lose all the equity if you fold!!!

Skripka Dmitriy · Mar 22, 2021

I have folded kings, more than once, having seen an ace.

stank12345 · Mar 22, 2021

not pre flop you still have good odds of winning the hand

lablelarry · Mar 22, 2021

I usually go super high and back out and take loses when the ace shows up on the board

orlando miguel rossler · Mar 22, 2021

I do not try to play it like any hand that I like preflop if we see the river better for sure because not only does the ace fly, I lost I full of kings against poker of 9 it is the blessed variance

Lenka65 · Mar 22, 2021

Poker

I heard about this at pokerstars in an expensive online tournament. But, I think that there is hardly anyone who will fold pocket kings preflop, unless of course this is a super expensive tournament and one player is left before the prizes.

Galette71 · Mar 22, 2021

well yes but may depend on many things... the position on the table... for me its depend also of the buy in... but thats not for everyone. and also the bubble and the number of player in the hand

1988810 · Mar 23, 2021

Never

Emily Trott · Mar 23, 2021
