Default (LC) For the first time ever, I folded KK PF ($15/1)

Level 1 10/20(9 handed), I have T1470 in chips and Kc Kh in MP1 - no reads on any players...

UTG (1610) raises to 100, folds to me, I re-raise to 400, MP2 insta pushes for 1350, MP3 (1750) pushes, UTG calls...... I tank and finally fold...

They had:
UTG: AJo
MP2: AQo
MP3: AKs

And I feel like a total donk.....

I can only think of like 2 times I've ever laid down QQ preflop, and one of those my friend was watching, and I laid it down to KK v AK PF, so half was just hoping I would look cool.

If you posted this folding of KK to get flamed, then I flame thee. Don't do it.

Why, because the players here were complete morons? Folding here can't be as bad as a few of you are trying to make it sound. I'm not saying I would have folded here, necessarily, but 3 people DID just push in for 80BB.

well you are getting close to 4:1, which is about what you'll be vs AA.

so if you're 100% sure someone has aces, you wouldn't be that far off calling... and clearly you aren't 100% sure.

Considering folding KK in a SNG <$55 and possibly <$109 will give up too much equity in the long run, even in this exact situation. Some will argue that this is true only for SNGs <$33, whatever, it's somewhere around there. At an $11, $22, or $16 it's a crime, and as bad as I'm trying to make it sound.

Isn't the main pot 4690? 1350 from MP2, 1470 from MP3, 1470 from UTG, and hero's 400 in there, and he has 1070 remaining. So he needs to call 1070 into a 4690 pot (4.4-1). Even if one of them flipped over AA you'd have odds to call (yeah, I know - with the other people in the odds aren't this simple but c'mon, 4.4-1) even without considering what knocking out or crippling 3 people and you having a monstous stack would do in this game.
And you're not sure AA is even out there.
Bad fold, and by bad I mean awful.

It's one thing to laydown kings to a couple of raises because you think someone has aces...but quite another when you have already put over 1/4 of your stack in the pot. Gotta call.

I really nearly folded it PF in a $55 tonight. I raised UTG+2 to a limper, someone who had not played a hand (and it was 15/30 level) re-raised me the minimum, I re-re-raised when it got back to me. He pushed. I had a very, very strong suspicion he had AA even from his original re-raise.

I still called though. And yes he had rockets.
