For those considering folding KK preflop in a $10+1 (LC)

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".

has there really been a lot of that recently? i must have missed it. i don't think i've seen very many posts on this subject at all lately.

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.

10+1 tourney people go all in with suited connectors for crying out loud!!! KK is a very strong hand, I cannot ever see laying it down pre-flop....QQ different story, still have a lot of cards that can beat you...But KK, you should not play the game if you are scared to play that hand...GL

hell I am not folding KK pre-flop even if the tourney buy-in happened to be my wife and kids.

Since I'm pretty sure I was behind, I'm fine with it.

I guess going from "should I fold AA preflop?" to "should I fold KK preflop?" is step in the right direction for the forum.
