KK preflop

My usual game is 2/4 FL, I'm giving NL a go. What's the standard preflop play here vs unknown? I'm pretty much shouting I've got a big pocket pair and villian doesn't seem bothered.

Your'e not going to be able to get away from this hand once your'e already 1/2 way in. Instead od calling, just go ahead &amp; push it all in.

You could also try calling the preflop reraise, instead of pushing all-in preflop. This way you won't fold out a worse hand like QQ. You can then push all-in on the flop with no Ace on board.

A few more questions:
1) Villian goes all-in preflop (after my $10 re-raise), call or fold?
2) Is there a better amount I could re-raise preflop or is $10 good here?

If villians raise was a smaller piece of his stack, this is correct thinking. However, villian has more that 1/2 his stack in there and is not going anywhere. I push it in.

1) On partypoker at these limits, this is an instacall everytime

2) $10 looks about right

I've been in that exact same situation except I pushed all in after the villian reraise. Saw an Ace on the flop and villian flipped over A2. Some people have very low standards on $25 NL.

I'm not folding KK pre-flop.

Call and checkraise all in on non A flop.

Im not sure why you called it. After villain raised to 25, it looks like a push or fold.
