I had a couple of similar spots with KK latelly and I wonder did I do something wrong in those hands because was told that I missplayed them.

Poker Stars, $0.05/$0.10 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 6 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite.

SB: $7.62 (76.2 bb)
BB: $10 (100 bb)
UTG: $3.39 (33.9 bb)
Hero (MP): $10.40 (104 bb)
CO: $15.51 (155.1 bb)
BTN: $10 (100 bb)

Preflop: Hero is MP with K K
UTG calls $0.10, Hero raises to $0.40, 2 folds, SB calls $0.35, BB raises to $1.60, UTG calls $1.50, Hero raises to $4.90, SB folds, BB raises to $10 and is all-in, UTG calls $1.79 and is all-in, Hero calls $5.10

Flop: ($23.79) A 9 8 (3 players, 2 are all-in)
Turn: ($23.79) J (3 players, 2 are all-in)
River: ($23.79) 4 (3 players, 2 are all-in)

Preflop: Decided to isolate a shortstack fish. 51/30 fish called and tight 14/14 (in 45 hands) BB squeezed. I don't want to fold, for sure, but should I call instead? I decided to 4bet and try to get the money in because KK is a very strong hand and there is a possibility that even the SB fish will join (the UTG will most likelly join), so alot of dead money to collect. When the BB shoved, I have to call, of course.

I think you are almost never wrong to get it in pre with KK. So wp imo.

With so many players wanting a piece - we can play for all money.

I also like the way it's played. For sure get it in pre. Your hand has too much equity to call a 3Bet in a three way pot. The only reason to call KK pre is when you can leverage both players otherwise to go all-in.

If BB is remotely decent he should recognise this is a great spot to squeeze and may give you credit for knowing that too.

Anyway you have KK and he can probably do this with QQ/AK so YOLO.
