Pockey Kings are killing me

Pocket Kings should be folded pre-flop.

My streak of losing with pocket Ks at showdown in tournaments has now reached 12. Opposing Hands have been:
AA once
5d3d once (Chip leader made move pre-flop I called all in)
AQ once (He pushed pre-flop I called)
88 once (rivered Quads below)
AJ 8 times (including below)

As an added bonus I lost twice with KK in a limit ring game once to AT once to Jc6c where betting was capped preflop. (Though 6 saw flop), KhQc4c flop brought capped betting on flop and turn as there were 4 to the river, my KK, a KQ and a QQ along with might Jc6c only to see a rivered club with an unpaired board.
