Early in last weeks sunday warm up this hand happened. No reads or stats on anyone as it was so early in tournament. I play mostly six max cash and had won my seat in an fpp satellite. Is this an obvious fold to good tournament players or is there a better way to play it than to jam?

Prob as close as you can get to folding KK in an online donkament
How can he not have aces was my first thought, my second was how can he play then so badly!
therefore because he has played it so poorly (imo his 4 bet is far to small, even if he has aces playing them multiway oop is pretty gross (as there is a likely hood that utg and +1 and you will call due to odds etc) which makes me think if hes not that good that widens his range just enough for you to jam. I think calling is a bad option once the equally bad BB calls ur effectively set mining So im jamming and hoping he turns up with QQ if it was live I would consider folding. what did u do?

Thanks for reply Ted. I looked at hand afterwards and thought it was obviously aces. Having said that look at how poorly bb played his hand could sb be equally as bad and be trying some sort of squeeze with a decent hand. I didn,t like calling either because of size of pot now and stacks. So I jammed and he had aces. Flop was Q66dd and I didn't have a diamond so its was all going in on flop anyway I would think. I am never folding KK in 6max cash preflop just wondering if there was something different I could have done or should have done in 1st level of a decent tournament.
