There are plenty of situations where you should fold KK preflop and a few where you can justify folding AA. If you're playing a 9-seat S&G with top three paid. You're on the bubble (blinds are 100/200), and you have the second largest stack with 6000 chips, chip leader has 6200 chips and the two other players have 600 and 700 chips respectively. The chip leader has gone all-in UTG and both short stacks have folded. You're in the BB with KK. In this case you should fold, as it's extremely likely that one of the short stacks will go out within the next few hands.

It doesn't matter what you think you're opponent has. It's all about chip management and laddering up at that stage. Incidentally, when I first read about this bubble play theory, I found myself in the very same situation in the next S&G I played. Chip leader had me just about covered, and pushed with AQ, I was in SB and called with KK. First card out was an ace and I didn't hit either of my kings.
