should you call or fold?

PokerStove says you have 47.3% pot equity vs 52.7 for him.

If you call that consistently you'll lose all your money.

using poker stove is kind of cheating but yes the correct answer is fold.

Yep because KK vs. AA is a much worse shake than AK vs. KK.

yes but you must take in to account that AK happens much more often. just in this case due to you holding 2 Ks, it doesn't happen often enough.
