    too me I would think my kings are still good as the only hand that could beat us is aces. If he had aces why would he not play them? Instead he pushed so either you can put him on a ace-q/k or middle pair tring to push you off the hand.

    of coarse its way to early to make these kind of plays so you might be right about folding it cause he didnt want to risk a suckout??? But for me if i had aces I would so play that and make it heads up with a raiseor this guy is just a donkey.

    At that level I would put him on a mid pocket pair probably 88. But thats not to say he didn't have AA - because I have seen it often enough where people will play it like that at these low buy ins).

    24BB's deep I am never folding KK pf. In fact, im never ever folding KK pf in a tournament as I could easily see villian pushing all in here with 99+, AK/AQ/AJ, etc.

    Too tight. He could easily be pushing AK/AQ there. Not to mention QQ-, you're way ahead of his pushing range

    Wow, I can't believe you folded this v 1 opponent, it's not even the bubble either! There'd have to be at least 3 other people all in before I start folding KK PF. I don't like telling them you've got KK either, they'll just piss on you the rest of the game.

    Dude, at $5 tourneys and low stakes cash games, NEVER fold KK preflop. You'll run into aces once in a blue moon but these guys have a huuuuge range.

    Higher stakes (not sure how high, maybe $55 sng's, NL400 etc.) you can start folding it if you have an exceptional read.
    For Free Money, Rakeback and some 6x Ongame bonuses, I recommend PokerSource.

    I recommend Cardrunners for superb poker coaching. It was honestly the single biggest improvement in my game signing up there! Sign-up fee might seem steep, but it pays itself back within weeks.
