Only times I would fold pocket KK if there is a SIGNIFICANT pay jump (or bubble), the player is a nit, had my covered, and there is another nit already shoving.

I have folded pocket Ks Qs & Aces preflop many times in satellite tournaments when i already have enough chips to get me through.
Too many times I’ve taken the chance when already safe & paid the price:mad::D:p

I would pay for sure, KK is a monster, in fact if someone comes with a raise I would go all in regardless of where I am sitting at the table.
I've already lost holding KK, but the chances of winning are also very big, so I would never give up holding KK.

It all depends on the situation, it is not always necessary to raise or even pay with KK.
With more information it would be better to analyze the answer.

I would not give up.
And I believe that most players would also continue to believe.
There are many players who believe in much worse things.

No, I will never fold these cards before the flop. I prefer to go all in right away with these cards.

No, I don't like to fold at all. All the more KK better go ollin than drop such a pair. And then you'll be lucky.

KK is a very good hand. In normal tourneys i would fold very seldom. If im on the direct bubble and very short staked, the a fold is an option. Especially if the chances are increasing very big, to came in the money. And the next pay jump is very dificult. Another possibilty is in satellites. If im save in the qualifing position it is also good, to lay down the AA aswell the KK combination. So every hand you play you loose equity. Its sounds very strange for newbies but more as win the ticket is not possible, so it is not interessting fif you win the tourney or you get the ticket as the last place of the ranking. A ticket is a ticket. In nearly every other situation i call kk preflop. Pre flop you are only not the favourite only against AA. You can win more as you can loose so it is for me a call.

Yes I would fold depending on how many players will be in the pot. If it looks like more than three players going all in then I would fold pocket kings or aces.

The logical answer is obviously that you should dependant on position, chip stack etc, but the truth is it would be very hard to do.
If you had four people in front of you betting heavy, there is always the chance each has an A and therefore you've got top pair.
I guess it's a coin toss, a real head and heart situation where there is no yes/no answer as so many factors affect it.:confused:

it will be very rare the scenario that will happen to me in poker, and almost impossible, but it depends a lot on the moment of the tournament
