Why does he raise my KK???
 

first hand, blinds 10/20, 1500 stacks.

Hero is dealt KhKc UTG1, raise to 100. MP1, MP2 CO and BUT call.
POt is 530 and flop is Jh6h6c. I bet 400, MP1 folds, Mp2 calls, CO goes all-in, BUT folds, hero ???

I called, expecting to see AJ.

Yikes. I call here, expecting to see AJ or QQ from CO and expecting MP2 behind me to call as well with a flush draw, and hoping to dodge some bullets.

Pretty messy though. I just couldn't bring myself to lay this down. I can't see a 6 calling preflop here, and I can't see JJ pushing here without trying to let someone hit their flush.

I would have raised more preflop, but yeah, I'd go ahead and call his all-in. The only flop that would scare me with KK is if an ace flops.

Almost always, this is a dream event. Villain likely will have put you on AK, and is raising QJ, KJ, TJ, AJ, QQ, TT, ~ you get the picture. In fact, I'd put this probability at greater than 90% of the time. Consider this, if you had JJ, how would you play this? I'd tell you for certain, with position here, I'd smooth call before raising you allin.

Good luck at the tables.

Edit: on average, this is a very safe flop for KK.

What, were you up against aces?

MP2 had TT, and BUT had AhTh, so flush draw (which obviously was completed)
