it all worked out "correctly" then - if he had aces so be it.
People say folding kings in any spot preflop is bad in the long term. I dont think I"ve ever folded kings preflop. However, I"m certain I saw Ram Vaswani do just that in the WSOPE 2009 main event on TV coverage. The other guy had aces. From memory I think the villain raised with aces, ram 3 bet, villain 4 bet, ram 5 bet and villain shoved and ram folded. Something along those lines anyway. Perhaps he thought that folding KK is overall -EV but given the situation of a wsope bracelet, down to the last 20 or so players, maybe reads and all he was sure the guy had aces and didnt want to bust at this stage.

ive laid them down once - it was the bubble to a live event with virign poker - 2 players all in with my KK in the SB - 3 paid and 4 left when short went all in utg and button re shoved who had 1 BB more. i had them both covered but thought the best move was to fold, and it was as button aces held up

This was the worst fold of all time after Ram"s betsizing.
