Pocket Kings should never be folded preflop at partypoker in the $33s or $55s regardless of the betting action.

Here's an example of a $55 hand I played this past Monday.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t15 (10 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

MP1 (t1000)
MP2 (t1000)
Hero (t1000)
CO (t1000)
Button (t1000)
SB (t1000)
BB (t1000)
UTG (t1000)
UTG+1 (t1000)
UTG+2 (t1000)

Preflop:
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 calls t15, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t75</font>, CO calls t75, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB raises to t1000 (All-In)</font>, BB calls t985 (All-In), UTG+1 folds, MPC folds, CO folds.

As Hero, I fold QQ here only with a read (i.e. I've played you a few times before and I have some sort of notes), and I call KK regardless (&lt;-- [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] ) of read. I did fold QQ here because I did have notes and a read on the SB from previous games, and got to see KK from the SB. I would have called if it was two randoms.

I can't imagine the situation where I'd fold KK in a $33 or $55 SNG. Even with a very strong read, there is just too much chance it could be AKs or QQ.
