AKs quite a few times.

KK once in a qualifier on the bubble.

AK yes. usually if someone moves all-in and is called, or if someone tight raises and another tight player re-raises substantially.

KK once. $500 NLHE at WPF I was in real good shape and we were 2 from the bubble, only guy who has me even close to covered at the table moves all-in over the top of an all-in, I fold. ended up having AK all in had 88 flop had an ace, whew!!!! results oriented play rocks!

At first I thought - of course I have laid down AK - but when I think about it I am not sure.

AKo, yeah laid that down a few times. AKs - not sure. In the SnGs and Turbo MTTs I play I would only fold it early.

It would take a lot for me to lay down KK pre-flop. I'd have to have a very solid read that the other player was holding AA. Personally, I rarely worry about the other player having AA. I think it's only 1/24 times that the other guy will actually have pp AA. The only time I'd lay down KK is if I were on the bubble and there were a couple of callers ahead of me. If it was very important for me to place in the cash, I might decide to opt out of confrontation.

AK isn't that hard for me to lay down. I don't mind racing heads-up with AK. However, if there is more than one raise in front of me, I seriously consider laying the hand down.

I've laid down KK a couple times preflop, against a solid player and when he 4-bet preflop.

I've also laid it down on the flop, even though the flop was all rags...lots of action preflop, and then he pushed on the flop, I just knew he had AA and i folded. He showed AA, and i was happy with my laydown.

I've never folded Aks, but i've never had to make the decision, I suppose I would if it faced too much action preflop.
