Default Re: Is this statement 100% true?

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

This statement is not 100% true.
There are rare cases to fold KK and even AA preflop. Most of the time they come from extreme bubble situations.

Plug these numbers into SNGPT.

BB(hero) 3117
SB 3117
BTN 1557
Co 209

Blinds are 100-200
CO and BTN fold
SB pushes
KK is an easy fold here acording to the ICM

This example may not be perfect, but it is an example that isnt far fetched at all.

edit... I find this thread interesting, because there are people who strenly believe that they should never fold KK preflop. There are lots of places to fold it. All of them are at least semi extreme.

If you play enough poker, you WILL run into times where it is correct to fold them preflop. Ignorning this will likely not cost you a whole lot of money in the long run, but in a lifetime your sample size wont ever be large enough to cover the variance. I am just guessing the numbers.
