Hi,

Poker Stars, $0.01/$0.02 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 6 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite.

SB: $2.12 (106 bb)
BB: $2.18 (109 bb)
UTG: $1.39 (69.5 bb)
Hero (MP): $2.17 (108.5 bb)
CO: $2.07 (103.5 bb)
BTN: $2 (100 bb)

Preflop: Hero is MP with K♦ K♥
UTG folds, Hero raises to $0.06, 3 folds, BB raises to $0.20, Hero calls $0.14

Flop: ($0.41) 7♦ J♥ 9♥ (2 players)
BB bets $0.26, Hero calls $0.26

Turn: ($0.93) 7♣ (2 players)
BB bets $0.58, Hero calls $0.58

River: ($2.09) J♦ (2 players)
BB bets $1.14, Hero calls $1.13 and is all-in

Villain (458 Hands), VPIP 14, PFR 13, TOT3BET 2.4

Preflop - I raise kk in mp, bb re-raises me and I call since I assume bb 3bets range will usually be strong, plus I will be playing in position.

Flop - bb bets 2/3 pot. I call.
Turn - bb bets 2/3 pot. I call.
River - bb bets all-in. I think both calling on flop and turn it's standart. On the river his range looks really strong, even though if I define him a range like the following QQ+,AK, he should be checking at some point, cause he doesn't have 3 streets of value so, he might probably be overplaying his hand.

What's your opinion of the hand?

Thank you

2.5% is QQ+, AK
vs this range you are ahead:
MP2 57.19% 54.62% 2.57% KdKh
MP3 42.81% 40.24% 2.57% QQ+, AKs, AKo

Why don't you 4B?

I would 4bet pre. As played you could take more aggressive line and for example raise flop?

I like to call to his 3bet because I will be playing in position postflop, also his bb v mp 3bet range already looks strong so I don't want to fold those hands I'm ahead

Yea that 3bet range looks quite tight meaning that he will more likely call your 4bet? You get a good hand and you are so scared that villain will fold that you don't get max value out of him. Calling is not a big mistake but I like 4betting more.

Man, we have the second best hand preflop and we should make villain pay. You lose money when playing scared.

In his video How to play AA & KK correctly KTU explains why Hero should play AA/KK aggressively preflop.
AA/KK are the two best starting hands. Villain will miss the flop most of the time so he will fold on Hero's flop aggression most of the time. When Hero gets all-in pre-flop he doesn't give villain the opportunity to fold post-flop.
Hero doesn't play AA/KK in a vacuum but in a range. Given this range it is correct for Villain to call Hero's all-in with his hand. If he denied Hero to go all-in preflop it is also correct for Villain to check or fold when the flop doesn't connect well with his hand.

preflop i would 4bet ... and i would make a note if he folds to 4bet ( i would note: capable of folding to 4b) so next time i will call w KK and 4bet some Axs
as played... on flop i would not flat call there because there are many ugly cards on turn
