Re: KK
Poker is more than just the cards, you have to consider a lot of things, and this hand is a prime example of it. He's raising from the steal position, and you decide to defend. So he knows you may not believe he has a real hand. So in this particular situation its an easy call with KK.
In general, I would say in a headsup pot, it is very difficult to fold Aces or Kings, and most times you probably should go ahead and make the call, but it depends on the flop, and how tight your opponent is.
It sounds like you may be taking a shot in a game which is bigger than what you normally play. I would reccomend observing the games of a new level for awhile before actually playing there, that way you have notes on who the rocks are and who the calling stations are, and believe me this can save you several buy ins.
