Seriously though, at exactly what level are you considering folding KK pre-flop?

Me, I'm not folding KK pre-flop at any level.

Not at the 55's, not the 200's, not the Step Highers,not the WSOP....hell I am not folding KK pre-flop even if the tourney buy-in happened to be my wife and kids.

your statement is arrogant and ignorant. you should work on that going forward.

Thank you, Captain Obvious. I anxiously await your post explaining the color of the sky being blue.

I guess I'll cut you some slack because of the newbie moniker.

But #1 the (LC) in my title stands for "low content" meaning you shouldn't be looking here for in-depth strategy.

and #2 there's been a lot of discussion in the recent past re: folding as good as KK preflop in the first two rounds of the low buyin SNGs with a couple all-ins in front. Most of what i'd consider the rational opinion is that its still crazy to pass up those kind of edges at the lower level because the play is so bad, i.e. people thinking they can pass up a "early edge for a later, greater edge" when we're talking about KK preflop at the $10+1 are probably mistaken..

For the guy who said harrington tells you to fold to an all in with KK?

NO he doesnt, there's a two page section wherein he tells you that he called all-in, although he was fairly sure the guy had AA because "no one is that savvy".

Maybe a lot is overstating it. But IIRC there have been several such comments in the past two, maybe three weeks. They were quickly beat down by the forum illuminati, but it was still said. It sparked enough in my mind to comment anyways - no big deal.

My saying I don't fold KK pre-flop is arrogant and ignorant?

Sorry if it offended you, hoss...but my thoughts on that one ain't changing.

well, for instance, what buyins of sngs have you played? what types of mtts? what stack depths? have you been successful at any of them?

while your origianl statement remains arrogant and ignorant, your new statement that you won't change your thinking on something no matter what, might just trump it in both regards.
