It is posts like these that make me wish Mark Gregorich were here... He seems to always know the best line, with very sound reasoning.
That said, I only ever really fold kings to the three raise rule, some times not then, and super rocks in an online game. The money in an online game isn't deep enough usually to warrant folding KK preflop, and many players are willing to gamble it up with AQ, QQ-22, we just recently had a low content post with QQ vs. J6o all in preflop. Just because it is $1k instead of $200 doesn't mean it is any deeper just larger stacks to the blinds, I might consider folding more strongly if I was taking a shot at larger game than my bankroll can afford, but even then I would have to have very good reason. You don't have to go broke with KK, but you should seriously consider the source of the all in, and make a choice based on your reaction to their previous play more so than just current action described above. You should consider it even more if you are known to open raise any pair, suited connectors, suited paint, as the more likely you are to raise with less than KK the more likely someone will play TT and JJ fast against you.
