If not on the bubble, then I see no reason at all to fold a pair of Kings, it looks very strange. Of course, if the goal is to reach the minimum prizes, then you can fold a pair of Aces, but this contradicts the probabilities in poker.

Never. at the very least he would see the flop. if it occurs all in the bubble it would evaluate the whole situation. but I probably wouldn't fold an all in.

In a cash game I wouldn't fold KK most of the times, at a tournament depends from the stage. If the tournament was at later stages I would go for it, considering the study of the game.


for me it is the other way around . i would rather fold KK in a deep cash game rather than in a tournament

On the bubble for one person to the money, if I have less than 7 big blinds, easy fold

It's never been like this, even when your intuition tells you otherwise, your brain doesn't give up, which often leads to decent losses, but this is poker, today you get into aces, tomorrow you catch someone on aces.:)

In this conversation of never giving up that I lost in the second leg of the 300 yesterday, the guy went all-in with 99, I called with aa and he busted and I was eliminated, the next time that happens I will call again.:D:D:D:D

Normal conditions of folding KK in a tournament even when bubble is not imaginable for me.

But when I am very likely to get a ticket in a sattelite I should be able to fold but it has not occured yet.

In a cash game I would never fold kk preflop unless I am playing with an ultra nit that I know can only have AA. In tournaments, if there are lots of people all in in a hand, I might fold so that I get better ICM

pocket Kings

Can't think of a good reason to ever fold pocket Kings pre flop. If anything I would for sure raise some to keep the chasers out of the hand that might have to low cards suited,

Gl All ! :D

Probably, in a small range of situations, but no in general!

If not a bubble time situation like you said, pocket Kings is a very hard hand to fold. No matter what, I'd see a flop, no way I'm folding it whether in a tourney or a cash game.

If there's some ridiculous 7-bet situation or in a satty.

Those are pretty much the only times.

Hold em, rarely fold preflop, omaha, maybe fold pre-flop

Pocket KK hold em, fold pre-flop, would have to be an outlier situation, on the bubble, big all-in from right player, etc
Omaha, though is a different story. Omaha is a drawing game, and a pair is not as draw friendly as a lot of other combinations.

Hello. If it means remaining in the tournament, such as a villain goes all-in, I may fold kings

Almost certainly not. It’s the 2nd best preflop holding in poker and has a legitimate mathematical advantage over every hand except AA‘s. Therefore, the likelihood you have an edge against your opponents all in range is too high

Good day!
I think yes, I could fold in some wild action, for example, 3bet, 4bet, 5bet push from opponents before my move. I think I can hardly ride in this situation better than 50%.
