I just read the first few sentences of this, and saw you smooth called a min raise from the UTG player when you held KK. This isn't a good idea. You're letting the whole table have a go at a pot that's rightfully yours. You need to shut all those guys out. There is bound to be a guy with say 56s, or even a one gapper or two. I have no interest in letting them see a flop. If you were on the button and the CO min raised I MIGHT flat call to mix it up, once in a blue moon. But not at a BM game in vegas where I'll never see these people again for as long as I live. Even on the button I would be really scared that the BB would call the extra bet with any 2 cards that work together.

You missed his reason for the flat call, and it was a very good one. He was almost certain from the first two hands that it would be reraised preflop, allowing him to shove. Which it was. Which he did. Which is a very nice play for the situation. In a more passive SNG, it would indeed be a bad play.
