I think it would be +EV for him to never fold KK than average players should give his table image and more possibility of his opponents pulling moves on him.

He's not used to playing 2 cards higher than J

i just folded KK preflop for the first time ever. but it was a satellite to the stars $700k (5 out of 18 left. 13 got seats, all in in front of me.)

i have never folded KK preflop either. i can certainly imagine spots that i would, but i haven't come across them yet.

I just did it last night.

Goddamn power outages.

Good point. Putting it that way, I've folded aces PF many times.

My son woke up in the middle of the night last night, and I had to click "Deal me out" for the first five hands of the tournament while settling him. While out, I folded QQ and AKs. First hand I triple up when AJ hits top pair and goes to felt against KJ. Second hand I bust AQ.

Couldn't get no mojo going after that.
