I really feel I'm behind on average and out of position

Why would you believe you were behind on avg with KK here?

[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] What is the range of hands with which you would reraise an UTG raise?
KK is behind the range with which I would reraise an UTG raise, particularly if the UTG player is tight. I usually just call with QQ and AK.

[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] With what types of hands do short stacks tend to minraise rather than push?
I almost never minreraise, but I see many people do this with AA. It feels like Villain 2 wants a call.

Was the opponent your twin??

If not, if he was the usual SSNLHE player, go ahead and play the hand man.

You didn't answer the question. Would you reraise when a tight player raises UTG with JJ? With AK? If you wouldn't (and I think it would be a huge mistake with JJ), then KK is at best even with the hands against which you would reraise.

KK is a great hand before anyone shows any strength. It isn't a great hand after someone reraises an UTG raise. Similarly, TPTK is a great hand before a bet and a raise.

Perhaps I'm a tight-weak player. If so, I'm a tight-weak player who just snapped off multi-street bluffs in 200 BB pots with AK unimproved and 66 unimproved, and averages a loss of only 7 BB/100 from the blinds (+30BB/100 after posting). Applying such a label is a poor substitute for analysis.
