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.

Preflop: 19/14 (37 hands) UTG opened and I decided to 3bet for value. I 3bet QQ+,AKs for value by default in this situation and even though he seems to be tight, I believe KK is still a value 3bet. The 55/37 (39 hands) fish joined and the UTG decided to shove. I believe folding would be too weak even though he is most likelly tighter than an average player. Furthermore, I have just 37 hands on him and no reads, so I don't like folding, especially when there is a chance that the fish will join.
