To be clear, you are specifically referring to when the villain is an old guy, right? You're not folding 0 hands in against 25-year-old hoodied iPod guy I assume?
Hoodie gets the click it back min4 bet shoving inducer every time.
And I might add that if the "old guy" is one of those rare guys that has shown spewy aggro blurts of betting (even in just one round), then I give him the shove too.
When the little old lady school teacher sits down and limp/3bets pretty good utg, I am so disinterested in KK that it is pitiful.
Bottom line is this. There certainly ARE times in live poker when we can discern a players range to be EXACTLY AA. Which is why in my opinion Dan Harringtons theorem (in his book) of never folding KK preflop is incorrect. This is a game of ranges, and sometimes the range is .....AA......and thats it. So now its up to us to figure when that range is this narrow. It does exist, I can promise that.
Dan most likely felt it was safer to give the no fold answer which could foul up the majority of players who would attempt folding KK in all the wrong spots. I dunno.
