Hello, i just wonder, is it correct to fold KK preflop?(microstakes)
say a guy raises from UTG and you 3bet him w KK, everyone else folds and he min 4bets. You now that he is fishy but you don't have history with him, and you have that feeling he always has AA.
I think from math perspective going all in is the best play cause KK vs AA equals AA vs KK in the long run ♦ making play profitable when he has AK or QQ(rare).
i folded KK pre because i had a feeling (tell) the other guy had AA although no history, and now i think it was stupid.
What do you think?
I think you can't fold KK preflop on a cash table (headsup). most likely he has AQ / AK or a smaller pair, or he is simply just bluffing you cause he thinks you have nothing.
i've played around 100,000 hands of micro stakes cash and the only time i've ever folded kings pre flop was when a re raise fest-orgy has occurred before it came back to me...you cannot fold in the circumstances you described.
I think you did well, usually min 4bets are aces. AK would have pushed all in for fold equity imo. You did what you thought was best, gz to you
do you mean HU, or just when a hand is you vs. 1 villain at a 6 or 9 max table? in your post you said "say a guy raises UTG". there is no utg in HU games
You folded Kings? ![]()
Seriously you only can fold it under the circumstances described by LONGPLAY66. You had a "Feeling?" Oh crap!

You serious?
Just shove AI pre, especially against fishy players. No need to fold KK, unles you have some sick reads.

you must always call, unless you got a sick read or lots of hands of a huge nit which means accurate ranges.
You should have pushed all in, because even if your opponent is 4betting tight (ie: AKo, QQ+, AQs+) you still have 59% equity so you're ahead in the long run. Not to mention that most players are looser and more likely 4bet with roughly : AJo+, TT+, ATs+ and even KQs often; which gives you 68% equity, so you're a definite favourite in the long run!
Are you joking 3bet shove HU. I 3bet shoved a set on the flop only to have V river a full house.And I would do it again every time. Later flopped a full house 3bet shoved into quads and i would still do it again.
First case was AK against AA. Multi way pot. We were both calling a ss all-in. Second was 10's vs 77's flop was 10 7 7.
Remember you have no control over the cards post flop,only your chips.

Me vs villain in a FR or SH ring game.
yep, like i said i folded kings one time and i felt stupid afterwards.
Anyway, i've reached to the conclusion that folding kings is by far a bigger mistake than pushin all in against the ultimate nit. ♦
"Can u fold KK preflop?(heads up)?"
Sure you can! But it would be a hell of a stupid thing to do.

It will happen once every 220 times to get into aces there, so he can swear on his mother's grave he's got AA and i still don't believe him.
