Is it really a wise decision to shove KK early game? It was profitable when playing $2.25 FTP but I constantly face AA once I moved up to $5.

What I trying to say is, if nobody will shove anything lower than KK, then is KK still profitable to shove early game?

well if this assumption is true, obviously shoving KK is bad. The question is whether your assumption is true or not.

I play at 5$ SnG a lot and Im quite happy to shove KK early on, people will shove a lot less than AA!!
Sometimes you have bad runs, recently it seemed every time I had high pair vs low pair or I had him dominated I lost, but as the other posters said just keep calm. Recently my bad run has ended and my underpairs have gone on a winning run, your luck will change

People go crazy at the lower stakes. Occasionally i find randoms at my stake level ($15/$30) stacking off with 6s/a7s

I would never fold KK preflop unless it was a really unusual situation
