I did one time and it saved my ass. One of my best folds ever.
I raised 3 or 4 bb at least and I got 2 callers. Flop hit A 2 8. I acted last out of the 3. 1st guy bet (can't remember what but high). I took my time and knew what he had. It was A 2 or A 8 I thought the 1st guy had. Sure enough 1st guy hits full house A 2 board A 2 8 6 2.

I was playing 1/3 NL one time and the guy first to act made it $30 to go, one caller, and the guy that just sat down called.
Original raiser goes all-in (about $400) first caller calls (she has like $40 left) third guy folds and shows his kings. 
I couldn't have folded that hand, unless I only had one bullet. I know you have to put the guy on aces, but he just as easily could have had AK, or QQ. If I was just sitting down at the table I would have called. King came on flop too. Original raiser had AA.

I did on my first and only trip to Atlantic city. I was in the bb with one raise to 10 dollars and the small blind called. I re-raised to 30, got a call and then the small blind went all in for roughly 500 dollars. I showed the lady to my left and she thought I was nuts folding. The other guy had QQ and went into the tank before finally folding. The SB showed AA. Thats the only time I have evr done that.

I don't think anyone is good enough to fold KK pre flop. You should if you know the player has it, but there are few occasions where you know the villian has AA.
I was watching a WSOP even and Hellmuth and some guys wife each had AA and another guy had KK, that was the only time it was obvious someone had AA. The guy still called and was knocked out.

shrewdie, actually i owe you more of an explanation... how long have we been playign 3 handed? Is this this guys first all in? how often does he raise preflop, and how large? and less importantly to the theoretical question of whether or not to fold kings, how much am I making finishing 2nd as opposed to 1st?
my basic thought is folding kings preflop is a losing proposition because when you add the times your opponent DOESNT have AA to the amount you suck out with KK, its porbably more than 50% more than the times you are up against AA.

heres my question for vegasmaxx..... so you are always gonna let a guy steal a big pot without showing his hand? get what I'm saying, theoretically.... dude at the table you don't know can come over teh top with a big raise and you fold all the time? he could have 2-7 off and just have you read... he knows any big bet you see you'll fold even kings.... i understand if you have a read on a player, know his tendencies and can put him on aces, i'll buy that... but just folding kings to any large overbet, wow.... seems like you could be getting played a lot of the time
i'm scared of the guy who slow plays aces and then comes out firing later in the hand when you are trapped already with a not-good-enough overpair.

If i'm playing 5 -10 and make it say 300 with kk and some idiot i've never seen raise it 5k(and there really isnt alot of that here, those people dont last) you bet your ass i'm folding, take my 300, there's another hand being dealt in 10 seconds and I'll wait for a better spot. Just me. Aint saying it's right or wrong. Like I said, never folded em playing 2-5 with 500 in front of me or in a tourney. Hardest thing for me to learn about poker was some times its better to fold when your ahead. Let me ask you a question. You have JJ and a guy SHOWS u AK preflop and puts you all in for 1000 and you have 5 bucks in the pot, do you call? I dont, if I wanted to flip coins I'd flip coins, I wanna play poker.
