Default KK vs AA

Is there any way to not go broke?

I'm assuming you mean preflop. If it is heads up, have one amazing read or have your opponent flip his cards over before the betting is finished.

If it is multiway and you have KK on the button and UTG, UTG+1, and UTG+2 each goes all in for large stacks, then you should consider a fold.

Fold preflop?

For what's it worth, at the lower stakes for full ring, I don't see reraises by QQ very often. If I have kings and get reraised I play it pretty cautiously. Probably weak tight, but I always smile when we get to showdown with a good amount of my stack left.

Many players think of how much an amount someone raises and puts them of AA. More important is how Many raises it is.

If its raise, reraise, reraise, reraise it is much more risk to be up against AA than if its just:

raise, all-in.

I think its very seldom time to lay down KK preflop though. Have done it twice. One I would had one agaisnt A2o (!), the other I was right.

flop a set of kings.

ok, kidding (kinda). More important than avoiding going broke when you have KK vs. AA is making more money when you have KK against QQ or JJ.
Ways to do this include: When you raise preflop and are reraised, just call. If you reraise again, you might kill your action against QQ/JJ, but will still get owned by AA. After the flop (particularly if it is rags), you can let him do the betting for you. QQ or JJ will continue paying you off on most streets, while you minimize losses to AA because he is afraid to lose you.
