Can you lay down KK pre-flop in NL cash game?

Laying down KK or QQ in no-limit is one laydown that is tough to make, yet to be successful in no-limit cash games you must be able to make this lay-down or else you will get busted a lot.

QQ is sooooo easy to lay down. I don't start stumbling until I get to KK.

Ten-handed it is 20-1 against villain having AA so without a Hellmuthian read, you have to call.

somebody is going to have to explain the 20-1 against aces thing in this spot

The odds that any player has any pocket pair is 17:1. The odds of someone specifically having AA is (17 x 13) = 221:1. Divide that by ten players at a full-ring table, and the odds that one specific individual has AA is 22.1:1.

(Actually, you'd probably be more correct to divide by nine, since you know that YOU don't have AA. In that case, the odds would be 24.5:1.)

yeah, but saying its 20-1 against villain having AA here is a bad idea imo. thats what my point was.

Yes. I've laid 'em down 4x and 3x I was against A's-they showed. I don't know what the other one was, but I assume it was A's
