Would you ever fold pocket kings preflop ?

[stank12345]

I would almost never fold kings pre flop with the exception of on the money bubble

 

[LOKIE77]

Only on the money bubble and it is going to be a multi way pot and I could be eliminated

 

[YuriDitz]

No I have never folded this hand since the AA encounter is very small and the worst hands will pay for all we lost, so this game is profitable!

 

[pltelles]

I already ran, when I was on the bubble and with a smaller stack than the villain. But as a rule you have to go all-in.

 

[AizenFalck]

It depends a lot on the situation I find myself in. For example, if I have a respectable stack, we are about to break the bubble and my opponent goes all in with the probability of leaving me eliminated, I think that I would not think twice to fold, otherwise, I have a small stack, they are about to eliminate me and my opponent goes all in, I don't think twice about calling. Regards.

KK

Nah I will definitely have to eat those and believe me I have, just can't fold them. But If I have a decent stack and getting close to the money, I think about it for about a second.

 

[Mati532]

No, I have never folded this hand as the AA matchup is so small and the worst hands will pay everything we lost, so this game is profitable!

I don't fold in cash games, I fold in the late stages of tournaments...

 

[Draculator]

never. not even in tournaments.
only if an ace came in flop

 

[pandafreeroll]

I can only concur with everybody saying: no, unless, it's a 3-4-bet pot right ahead of the bubble. But I would sometimes fold KK at a final table against a very tight player that has me covered if the alternative is shoving and there are at least several significantly shorter stacks around that are likely to get busted before I do and get me a ladder up

 

[Genep66]

I would never fold pocket kings. Not sure why anyone would.

 

[Superhansi]

No never… i dont know the odds bit for me its been high!😆

 

[RagNar87]

close to itm ofc i do, depends on my stack size ofc

 

[PrinceOfPersiaa]

its not exactly a black or white type of answer. Yes, I have folded Kings before both in cash and tournaments before. Was it a good fold overall in long period of time? ABSOLUTELY NOT! but was I correct for folding Kings? also yes!
The crazy thing about poker is, there is never a right or wrong or black and white answer for every situation.

 

[Sidetracked]

In a cash game, I'm never folding KK preflop (I did it once because I was convinced a complete nit must have AA. Someone else called, and they both had QQ...)

 

[k0k17]

depends on position and stage

 

[TaigaMaster]

I never fold kk

 

[Oranaro]

I won't fold it, 2nd better hand, mean that there are just 6 other combos that beat me. The only time I'd fold them is when villain is sooo tight, that it's obvious an AA. If he has something like 10% vpip and 1 to 5 pfr, well I'll fold to an all in. You will get a lot of AK QQ JJ even TT in those ranges, that it's valuable to go for it.

 

[Igor Popadyk]

satellite to the super tournament - before me 2 chips go to the bubble in the Olin - of course pass!

 

[Prince Mantis]

Yes I fold KK. When we face 4th raise preflop it is always AA. In my opinion if player has stats someting like 20/1/1 and he shoves to my 3bet i fold KK for these type of players do not press 4bet button often.

 

[sincos]

As the heart tells)))

 

[blata8ruga]

I would have to say no. It is just too strong a hand.

 

[Ragonesi]

Pre flop there is no way I`m folding Kings, there is only one hand that could beat you that is AA, if the opponent has AA is GG but pre flop is hard to just fold it...

 

[Jonex]

Bubble is the only reason for me to fold KK's, and I've done it few times.
Otherwise I see no reason to fold it preflop, that would be just bad gaming imo.

 

[Jwl8092]

ive done it twice. Both times the guy showed aces.. but it was still hard even tho i knew he had AA
