Default Folding KK preflop in a limit game

$15-30 at the Bellagio. I picked up KK on the button and was ready to throw my chips in when this happened: UTG (decent player) raised, UTG+2 (LAG) 3-bet, MP1 (tight passive) 4-bets, and CO (good player) caps it at 5 bets.
I fold.

Uh...yeah, one of the rare, rare times KK is looking very, very bad.

Thats crazy, hah, nice laydown, the rest of your kings, as well as all 4 aces and maybe some queens must have been out among those players [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Although if you aren't already behind, the deck is probably pretty crippled for everyone and there's a very good chance of KK holding up unimproved. Hard to imagine what the good player could have here though other than KK or AA :/

I want to hate this fold in limit, but I can't see how calling here would be the correct play, especially considering there can't be more than 1 king left in the deck, if that.

Would this be an easy five-bet for yourself had the CO folded?

I really think CO had to be the straw that broke the camel's back.

I probably would've 5-bet if the CO had folded, although I wouldn't have been surprised if MP1 had shown aces.

I've folded AKo PF, but never, ever KK.

No way do I fold that here. You're close to getting odds to flopping a set, and given the way the 15/30 at the Bellagio frequently is, without knowing more I think there's a 50/50 chance, at least, that you're winning anyway.
