I think the hand is misplayed (sorry for my direct speech but I hope you are here to learn something :)).

At first preflop, after our 4bb raise, (which is fine with KK) I will always want to go broke preflop against one opponent.

So after we get reraised I will happily RE-reraise to like 300-340 and insta-call a push. On these limits it is always possible that the opponent has Aces, but there are so many other hands that are going broke preflop so the allin with KK is definitely +EV.

As played now on the flop that the A hits, you basically should give up on the hand, when you opponent bets big.
I would maybe agree to call the flop against an agressive villian, but at least on the turn after he bets again it is corect to fold here.
We will be beat most of the time against Ax, and flushdraws have hit the turn.
So an easy check/fold latest on the turn with your hand.

But I would strongly advise you to go allin preflop with KK always if possible.


Of course I'm here to learn, and I would accept some harsh comments, as long as they make some sense. (Hey, yours does make sense)

Thanks for your reply, I'm trying to find all the I can, and fix them. Atm, after 50+ DoNs (yes, I know it isn't a great sample) all I managed to get so far was to stay breakeven, before the rake comes in. With the rake I'm losing money.
