I always post this hand when someone asks about folding KK preflop. This was from a $55. Sucks that I lost though.

Never fold KK preflop, is the motto I think we should use. You see AKo, AKs, QQ, JJ, 10 10, way too often to make it +EV to always play KK until the flop.

I was saying push it-sorry if that wasn't clear.

The stacks are just too shallow to fold KK in an SNG. I have never done it.

Unless you're 100% sure you're beat by rockets, push them

If someone has AA, there's a 90% chance you're out of the tournament. Assuming the hands actually played, there's a better than 50/50 shot you're out. True you might quadruple up, but do you think it is worth the risk?

This is never the case, unless you have EXTENSIVE hh's on villian, and this is the ONLY hand villian EVER plays this way.

You have way better odds than 25% here, since it's to quadruple up, I think calling is +EV (by a lot).
