I'm sure folding is fine. Donkeys luv limping KK or HHHH.
Villain has to be very bad for me to start folding flop. You have a K and the Ah.
Are you saying that KK is a folding or raising hand? What is the issue with limping?
The main issue is having limps in the first place. In general, if a hand is worth playing it is worth raising. Raising is denying equity from blinds and making it way more likely you win the pot without showdown.
Nearly all of the non-A KK or HHHH are folds from EP/MP.

Understood. I find myself (or others) in the tough position of flopping a King set with two low cards and the board has two of same suits. One more low card comes out and you are praying to get half the pot, especially in Big O.
But they are also scoop potential hands.
Well yes. You also don't start having limp ranges in NLHE with low pocket pairs, even if that would a be a +EV way to play them in a vacuum. That leads to (unnecessary) range compilation issues. Maybe you can make it work somehow but it's not really worth it.
Don't be the donkey limping them KKs. Mostly fold and raise with the best ones. Solver opens barely half of KK from BTN even. It's just not a great hand.
going off roughly a microstakes PLO hi solver and what it likes in 6-8 max
because of rake the solver plays tighter so I assume in the micro plo8 the only KK solver opens with in MP is KK23ss or KKBBss
could see most others being folds in this rake game tbh
