c'mon man - never fold even with a read? that makes no sense.

I should save what I'm about to say so I can just copy and paste in the future. If you can reasonably put your opponent on AA-QQ then your KK is 50% vs. their range. I'd say that many times the action suggests that AA is far more likely - like in the original hand posted. I think never folding KK is a leak.

Players like that seem to be few and far between. People often remember hands like that one and convince themselves that most people push/call All-In with a wide range. The funny thing is that there are lots of times where people say to fold QQ because they're afraid of AA/KK but then if they hold KK in the same situation then their opponent magically has a huge pushing range.
