KK under pressure

10/20 nl, effective stack maybe 3000... i have KK.

AZK who is running hot as balls makes it 100 in CO after one limper, i make it 325 from BB he calls. flop a bunch of crap 9 high two tone, i bet 450 he insta pushes for 2100 more... i mean... insta. pushes.

hero who is running cold as eskimo balls cries and ?

One question is, what sorts of hands will he call pot-sized preflop reraises with?

Another question is, will he put all his money in with QQ here?

I think the answers are:

a) pocket pairs, suited connectors, suited aces.
b) no.

So you have two possibilities when captain loosey-goosey check/raises allin on a flop like this, a made hand stronger than KK, or a strong draw.

You don't have much edge against the draw, and you have big -EV if you end up calling while behind.

you know it's him, so he also knows it's you, right? do you play together often, is there a history of you two trying to "outplay" each other, gunning for each other, that kind of thing? at first glance it does look like he trapped you with AA, but when i looked at it again, i had some doubt: if he's laying a trap, why not smoothcall again on the flop? then when you fire into him on the turn you'd be pot-committed and would be forced to call a raise all-in at that point. his flop instapush leaves you some slight wiggle room to get off the hook if indeed he's got the aces.
