Ever fold Kings preflop?
Story, guys!
I don't know if it's right or wrong, but I never fold QC on the preflop, right up to the all-in. If I see an ace on the flop, then of course it's more complicated, depending on the opponent's aggression I'll make a choice, if very passive player starts to raise a lot, I'll fold. ;)

Depends on how tight the guy disputing the hand is and the position he is playing is an easy fold for me :), but if he is an strong opponent I play hard pre flops with it.

I use to play KK very carefully because of this unfortunatelly ace on the flop or later on turn or river. I had this situation many times. I ussually fold that hand.​

KK is a strong hand but you still have to have your wits about you and closely follow the action, if the flop is dry then you're probably ahead as AA is likely to have raised you. But you still have to be careful as someone may have a set post flop, that is why I like to make the pot odds difficult for pairs lower than KK to set mine. You want to isolate the weaker hands that stand a change of improving on the flop. Of course if you dont push out the weaker hands preflop you have to be extra careful when a pair comes on the flop, turn or river.

Folding KK is not easy, but if you want to be a pro, you'll understand that sometimes you have to fold, depending on the situation.

As with most cards, there is a day where all KK wins and there are times when I lose with all of them. I don’t know exactly what it depends on, but that’s how it used to be.
But if you see A on the flop, yes, you have to play more carefully, that's a fact.

It's better to play them aggresively preflop, so you diminish the chance someone hit an ace.
However, depending what cards show up on flop, KK is foldable when you feel you're beaten (or you can try bluffing hard :p )

I like to play it, no hand is invincible, and often because I don't know how to play it well, I lose, but you learn from mistakes. ;)

In poker I have little experience, but I have lost more than once with KK and many times I have won with small cards against KK. That's why poker is fascinating and interesting. Experience and self-control determine the winning cards!

Folding kk

So there's a lot of variables to this one. Number one you can't fold kk all the time to an ace. But it depends on a player in a cash game. Or tourny where you are and chip sizing. I wouldn't just call an all in if I'm average stack or better even short for that matter. Did you get 3 bet on the flop or did you 4 bet it's huge if this is the case. This is why I love poker hahaha

I'm not shy to fold a KK if an A comes out on the flop, but I don't think I have ever folded KK.... well unless I was very close to the money or something like that.

I thought it was mandatory for an Ace to come on the flop with playing KK, I honestly cant remember the last time I had KK that and Ace wasnt on the flop or turn

KK is a strong hand only preflop, then it turns into trash very often and needs to be played carefully.

preflop, I don’t see any reason to fold KK if we fold such a hand, then what to play with then the only exception is if we have a passing stack in the satellite, but if we have already hit the flop and the rest of the streets, then folding is quite acceptable, it all depends on the specific situation an ace on the board could push us to fold also it could be a 4 flush board or a bubble tournament so it all depends on the moment

In theory there might be a situation where I'd fold kk preflop, but I don't think I've encountered that situation yet. maybe after a 4bet from a super nitty player on the bubble.

I have called preflop with KK, thinking "he's got aces", and been sad to discover I was right more than once.
