Villain is decent TAG. Do I 4-barrell PF? How's my flop line? Is the money always going in here? My standard line when I'm OOP with QQ/KK is to call the 3-bet and see a flop. Bad line?

I hate the flop with a burning passion unless you are pretty sure he stacks off with 99-QQ here. Make a smaller raise. MIN raise. I don't care. Make a bet that looks like we're taking a stab or something. Make a minraise and maybe he'll shove cause he's got AK and thinks we're trying to see if our pair of 9s is good. Unless he's stacking off with those 4 pairs regularly here, I think you made a huge mistake raising this big on the flop. You're obviously not afraid of any draws and he's got 3 outs at most so there's no need to chase him away.

And no, I don't usually 4-bet pre becuase it gives away your hand a little more. Although, with stacks as deep as they are, I'd be more likely to consider it since we're OOP and we want to play a big pot.

I re-raise PF, but that's me.

Once we're at the flop, it's really bone dry. We need to start the movement of chips into this pot, so I like the raise.

I'm going to get as much money as humanly possible in preflop. You don't want to play this hand OOP, so 4 bet him like always, I don't care if he's tag. You benefit by him folding since you're OOP and it's unlikely you're going to get a flop where he gives you all of his money whereas he might do so preflop with QQ or something retarded, and you benefit by him calling because you're a favorite over everything he calls with. I think the flop check/raise is standard after you just call preflop.

I doubt you were worried about it, but I pretty much have this personal rule that when I have two Kings and I have less than 250 bbs that I'm completely unafraid of two Aces. After I get deeper, I'll start to care.

I think you played this hand fine.

I'm a robot so i auto 3-bet in this spot PF, but i don't mind calling as it disguises your hand a lot, though if the button had the same stack as you i think you be more inclined to 3-bet more.

I acctualy like the check-raise on the flop, though i think i'd raise slightly less.

yea, i think its possible villian could pay you off with JJ-QQ, as you disguised your Kings pretty well PF.
