Final Board: 5♦: T♠: J♠: J♥: 8♠:
Hero mucked K♣: K♥: and lost (-$3.72 net)
MP2 mucked and won $7.25 ($3.53 net)

Pre: standart open. I decided to call his 3bet to keep his range wide, also he is 3betting early open, very strong line.
OTF: going with passive defence.
OTT: same
OTR: tough decision: I am beaten by AA, JJ (what might be in his 3bet pre range). QQ are unlikely to 3 barrel. KK might be. His small river bet I interpreted as "inviting" a call. So going with tough fold.

You do not want a wide range. Just 4b and keep the initiative.

I would be more aggressive with this premium hand too. However, I do like the fold indeed.

Be very careful with this line of thought. Both when betting yourself and when contemplating folding. My default (which is the right default against an average population) is to call smaller bets more frequently than big bets. Only reads (observed showdowns) can change this.

With KK or AA, I would look to get it in all in pre-flop.
