If I correctly read that the first reraise is either KK or AA then the fold is automatic

Why?

Re: Folding Kings in Level 1
 

The AQ will win 32% of the time and the other KK will win 3% of the time. You will chop 64% and win 1%.

The pot would have been around 748*3 + 25 (blinds), so 2270 total. You would win 0 35% of the time. 1135 chips 64% of the time, and 2270 1% of the time.

0 * 34% = 0
1135 * 64% = 726.4
2270 * 1* = 22.7

Total Expected Chips = 749

So it looks like it doesn't really matter what you do b/c your expectation will be the same whether you fold or call.

Re: Folding Kings in Level 1
 

I never fold KK in situations like this because often enough that bet that must mean he has AA/KK turns out to be JJ-QQ, AKs. I have to admit that I do fold QQ at times to very heavy preflop action in level 1-2.

I never fold KK early in a sng - never.

Consider this hand next time you want to fold KK preflop. This was from a $55. Sucks that I lost though.

You missed my point. The micro-reraise gave me the read to be able to put him on AA/KK. Your HH is completely different.
