I never fold KK but I will toss the aces every time.
I never have, but I have considered it many times.
In one long tournament I had KK seven times and lost six of them.
And in my first live casino real-money tournament, I had KK on the third hand. The guy to my right went all-in with JJ. The guy to my left knocked both of us out with AA.

You just joined the site. Play 10,000 hands and you will change your mind on that figure besides the fact that you have no facts.

I would definitely fold KK pre-flop in a tournament if somebody else went all in, depending on the tournament situation, relative stack sizes, never replace already in the pot, whether somebody else was to go behind me who could re-raise, and so on.
I cannot imagine that I would not open the pot with KK from any position, and I would certainly want to raise limpers.
If I was heads up in the last two players in a tournament, I cannot imagine that I would fold KK pre flop, but at any other stage of a tournament there are various considerations to be considered. For example are you calling somebody who has been shoving their whole stack preflop regularly to steal the blinds, or are you up against an extremely tight player?
In a ring game where the stacks are deep, one does not normally go all-in preflop, because the risk is too great. Supposing you have a stack of $100 million and it was real money, would you really ever want to put the whole lot on one hand?
