yes, its not that hard depending on the board, flush draw, straight draw pair on the board, if someone shoves, i would tend to fold them, but who knows, sometimes they might be bluffing.

Depends on my stack (have them covered), history, & ICM. Most times you might be all in regardless.

Depending on the rest of the flop and the size of my chips, yes, I do the opposite and give up without thinking.

KK is my most hated hand. I will fold on flop even if there is not an Ace needless to say I am folding to big bet against Ace high flop.

It's not difficult... two kings don't stand against one ace) And a set or two pairs is also possible...

It's pretty obvious, but it's a very beginner's question. Develop your knowledge and you'll soon realize that there's no starting hand that's unbeatable. Preflop, AA is the best starting hand, that's for sure, but the strength of your hand will depend on the cards on the board.

It will always depend on the actions, your position, the value of the bet, whether you are the aggressor or defender...

Of course, yes,
I can make such a decision, under the right conditions, because it's better to leave myself a chance to win than to risk everything and end the tournament early.

It depends... if it's close to the bubble and the prize is substantial, I think it's worth folding....

We always want to range our Villains so Axx flop big bet what was the xx? does V have sets draws dry board wet board?
What do they want us to do fold call? Why would they think we would call? Would they try to get us to fold if they had an ace? some would

depends on the stage of the tournament and the stacks, in any case, the probability of losing on the flop with A is quite high and you should not play aggressively and folding is quite correct

If before the flop, it is quite difficult, as with the KK, you also 4bet and 5bet if the stacks are very large, but mostly in such lines there are only KK and AA, and it is not so difficult to draw the streets

Yes, of course.
I don't see what's so difficult about it. If the situation clearly indicates a bad development, it is better to avoid losses. Fold, of course :)
