Hi,
I flop middle set. The thing is board is drawy and I get re-raised. I decide to just call and see what the turn brings. It´s A of spades, nothing to worry about, so I hapily shove to his bet. Do you think would it better to shove OTF? I didn´t do it, because I wanted to wait for the turn (if it completes the draws), but I guess that´s bad and only delays my hard decision and if bad heart comes I´m afraid I wouldn´t be able to fold anyway. So, was that bad reason to just call the flop?

And one off topic question. Do we always try to shove with KK PF (on microstakes)? I´m not talking now about 5% of time when we play against rock. I´m talking about times when we get 4 bet (e.g.), should we there think that we stand against AA (or that´s bad thought) or always go all in without being scared? This is nice example: https://www.pokerstrategy.com/forum/thread.php?threadid=389103

Yes your reasoning for just calling OTF is not good. When you are ahead you want to put as much money in the pot as you can, not wait for draws to hit.
For example let's imagine that you have a super good hand that you will win 99% of the times, if you shove and villain calls and hits his 1% it was bad luck but you played your hand correctly. But if you start checking with the hand and wait for villain to hit his one outer, not good.
I would 3bet him OTF and plan to go all-in.

What comes to KK, it is usually the same thing. Many villain will go crazy with AQ+,JJ+ etc other poor hands. We want to get as much money in pre flop while we are still ahead of his range. You don't have to shove immediately when you face a 4bet, a reasonable 5bet will do.
The example you gave is not a standard situation you will face. There folding might be ok because it looks very strong.

You can just call only if board is superdry and villain likes to barrel turn too.
But when you hit a set and board is wet- just push.

I think it is pretty hard to find fold vs this guy. 73/29. I guess it is an easy shove on the flop. This type of guy could do that with TX or Flush draw. He still could sometime have 65, JT or higher sets, but he is wide enough.
