Is it possible to fold KK pre flop???

Marvel7

This is a probably a question that has been asked before but i bet it has so many different opinions. Is is possible to fold kings pre flop?

I hadn't been on this table long, so i had no decent reads, but the alarm bells did start ringing after he put me all in after my reraise

Should I have folded, or in the long term is this going to cost me money by thinking they have AA everytime they shove all in pre flop

DOHHHHHHH

Not against this guy.....

I know what you mean though. I would say with kings, just take your medicine, you have to have a spot on read and hardly ever make the wrong fold......to make folding KK worth-while.....

With Queens though, at nl30 on sky and 100xbb effective stacks, I think a fold can sometimes be quite easy, coz the worst people stack off with is AK, although the majority of players won't even 3-bet AK pre flop, so you're looking at a push all in pre-flop being almost exclusively AA, KK or QQ.....

So Queens are foldable IMO, as is AK.

I know Im playing bad/tilted a bit when Im putting £30 in pre flop against nl30 players on sky with QQ or AK !

There are of course 2/3 players where i'll get it in quite hapily with 8 high (or at least a wider range of hands than KK+, lol)

Im sure you will get people saying on here that KK is foldable preflop in some circumstances, however i've never done it and probably never will, even if i was last to play in a 10 seater and all the others were all in and it was the bubble of the WSOP and the mafia had my wife held hostage, i'd still call lol.

When you resort to doing that i think its time to give the game up! no matter how much anyone tries to convince me, i just aint ever gonna fold AA preflop and if i lose so be it!

DOHHHHHHH

Oh I assumed from the example hand that the guy meant in cash games........
