The reason that the 2-5 suited and unsuited beat AA more often in mathmatical there are more outs. KK has 2 outs 2-5 suited has many more outs and therefore will beat the monster pairs more often than a one lower pair. I would rather be up against AA with KQ suited than KK because I have more outs.
KQs is a 16.2% to 17.5% vs. AA depending on suits
KK is a 17.1% to 18.5% vs. AA depending on suits

Oh, and 52o is between ~12%-14% vs. AA

Makwa is correct. I have done that too. Why take the risk in those circumstances.

bet high pre-flop with KK... and make sure that no A's on the flop or flush draw. then you can go allin. better to get some money that losin them all on preflop.

I say never fold KK preflop, it's just bad play.

You could time out that works too. This would be the only way I do it. I would have to be in the bathroom or something

fold pre-flop? never
just work on sensing if your opponent likes to slow place pockets or not.

i personally do slow play, and it burned me last time i had aces, cause i kept trying to suck out more money, and then they hit a straight on river which they never should have gotten to had i played it right.

I would never fold KK preflop, unless there were 2 or 3 substantial raises ahead of me, where my odds of winning might only be 50-50.

I never fold KK preflop raised or not. Sometimes if a Ace come on the flop I get worried and slow down.
