I odn't see why not, you've got action and hopefully someone will find themselves out of the tournament. Additionally, any ace that falls more likely than not is the end or your chips.

Yes, I was 4-table'ing and hit this so quick...could have kicked myself. But, even afterwards, still wasn't 100% sure if the fold would have been correct.

Don't fold KK preflop...

Can I?
You can do anything you put your mind to.

Should I?
Um, no.

If you fold and let them play, how do you think that benefits you to getting into the money? If CO wins there's still 5 players left. If MP wins there's still 6 players left. When you play and win you're going to be chipleader with 4 players left.

Don't fold that here...besides, you were a favorite before the flop anyway.

This weak tight thinking is even worse thatn your original question.

If someone has an A - that means they only have 3 outs, if they both have A's they only have 2 outs.

Look at what happened when the money went in - you made the right play, just didn't work out

If you fold, there will still be at least 5 players left and you might be in 4th place.

Can you fold? No.
