"easy fold here?"

yes

there have been several raises before you even look at your cards basically. unless i look down and see aces im probably running from this hand. plus two players will be knocked out on this hand (most likely) and youll still be sittin pretty

I agree with letting this go.

It leads to an interesting question though. I would play kings here; would anyone else or is this a mistake?

What limit is this? I play $22's and at that and below folding kings wouldn't be wise here.

Assuming that this a another ever-so-wacky Party $10+1, my perverse sense of humor tells me to push all-in rather than fold. You know one of them has a pair, one has AK suited, and if you get drawn out on, or if they turn over KK and AA, you just play another. Now if it is $50+, then I fold.

I have called twice in this situation before, and lost both times to AA. So now I fold.

thats no reason to fold. especially at the low party level most of the time your queens or kings will be good. On this hand though I fold the utq min reraise scares me a little

You think folding kings would be wise at any level?

Well I don't fold KK here.
