I was playing 5/10 Cent No LimiT Hold Em
( I play 5/10 Cent games because I win Casha nd why would I leave a good thing when its working)
Well Anyways Im playing at a pretty tight table, I get Delt A K/K, Then someone goes all in 14$ , I ended up folding fearing Pocket Rockets. Did I make the wrong call or the right one. He mucked his hand so Im still Unware of what he had.

It sounds like you didn't have any money invested in the pot, so I think the fold was a good idea. With a bet that size, he was pretty happy about something. Sure you may have lost a chance for some easy money, but you also avoided losing all your cash too.
On the other hand, if you were up considerably more than his bet it may have been interesting to make that call. It's a tough choice, but I think you made the safe play. Not sure I would have been able to. LOL

I had about 40 cents invested, I was upset tho because I might have had the better hand. I figure I would be even more Upset if I lost it all rather then Lose nothing.

exactly. The only way I would call... and thats a big maybe, is if my current session winnings were more than his "all-in". That way if I lose I'm still "break-even" or if I win, I win big.

You do have to take some risk in Poker. Kings are the second best starting hand and It would be a tough fold for me to lay it down, especially at such low limit tables. People play very loose and its likely he did not have aces.

Also, most poker players speak english, and it will be easier to read them once you learn the language.
The best time to lay down a hand is when you aren't confortable with it. If you don't have the nerve to play it out, you might as well muck it. . . and you can always win later.

personally, im not sure i can lay down pocket kings regardless of stakes, its just too good of a hand IMO with only one had holding any sort of pre-flop domination on you.
