Default Re: laying down KK?

Personally, I've come to hate KK early in SnGs, or as I refer to them, Ace Magnets.

With KK, you want action because it's such a good hand, so you don't bet it too big, as winning just the blinds is worthless. But if you don't bet big, every shmoe with Ace-Rag calls. And boy do those Aces hit. In 760 tourneys, I have KK in the first two rounds only winning 57% of the time. Heck, in the first round it's actually negative BB/hand.

I know mathematically it is a good hand. But I just hate it. Maybe I should just play it all-in...
