Re: can i fold KK pre-flop ?
Let me play devil's advocate here...
Against three underpairs (highly unlikely) you are about a 54% chance to win. If you are ahead in the hand, but are up against something like AKo, QQ, and JJ you are a 44% chance to win the hand.
If AA is in the house, you become a significant dog.
So, in the best case scenario, you are putting your life on the line for a little better than a coin flip. Granted, you will quadruple up if you win, and it is a +EV situation unless AA is out there, but I would have a hard time risking my stack here with anything but AA.
Whatever happened to the axiom "you can't win a tourney early, but you can lose it". It seems that this would apply here.
Play well,
CCC
