It's been pretty much drilled into my head that you don't fold KK pre, because while someone has AA 1/40 of the time I'm not smart enough to know when it is. But this donkish min-4bet turns out to be AA pretty much always. Should I have flatted to look for a set and then folded to his flop bet?

This has been part of a general problem late in tournaments where if I get JJ-KK I am pretty much going broke when someone has an overpair. Thoughts?

Every time you fold KK pre, a kitten gets used in a crush video.

I feel like in a 2 dollar rebuy you cant fold...In deepstack 10 dollar tourneys i sometimes can find fold assuming villain is somewhat competent....However I will personally never fold KK pre until maybe like 100 dollar range...However if your going broke on hands like QQ and JJ too than that might be a leak

This could be a setmine call with deeper stacks but he has less than 60bbs so just shove.( plus its a 2rebuy,etc)

You're supposed to go broke in these spots. With the fast structures of online tourneys nowadays theres no getting away from QQ+ IMO. Seems to me like you're getting coolered.

confirmation bias.
