Re: Don\'t ever think of folding KK pre-flop
[ QUOTE ]
If I remember your post correctly, there was a lot of action (from decent players), and you had a feeling that you 'might' be facing aces. But you still called, correct? And as much as it sucks, I think that the consensus was that it was the right call (one that I would have made as well).

My hand went like this. UTG raised to t85 on L1 or L2. QuasiFiction made is 225 from early MP. Action to me. My point was, although I don't know QuasiFiction, he is a top 5 leaderboard player. So he either knows what he's doing, or he is a sucker. I tend to put him into a thinking player camp, so I had narrowed his hand range down to AA/KK. I had KK, and since I knew I was either a tie or a loss, I wondered if I should consider folding. I called because that's my auto-pilot, 8 tabling default line. But even though I 8 table, it slows down enough for me that I could have thought this whole thing through. So why I didn't fold, I don't know.
Regarding 'never' having a read so strong, I doubt that. I think my example I gave you was good. My advice is to start thinking about the way you play QQ. Then when you come across a player like me/Quasi/others, you'll see a subtle difference sometimes, perhaps.
Of course, this only applies to L1 or L2. Beyond that, I never fold kings.
