I reraise preflop, I dont care who its against if I have position and KK. I bet this flop when checked to also.

I bet the flop.

$600 on the river. He'll call with the Q. He won't call squat without it.

Because against this villain I think his range is REALLY small raising to 10x the BB first in. I'm either absolutely crushed or absolutely crushing.

All the more reason to bet the flop (reasonable size) to find out where you are.

I'm pretty sure this is standard.

i'm pretty sure none of this is standard. standard would be: reraise preflop, bet flop, check turn, blast river.

This is bad. I guess I should have stated the 25 is around the standard raise. 50 stood out here. Since I have position and a good hand isn't this a reason to cold call preflop?

Yeah, I could have RRed pf and bet flop, but since we're playing 800 BBs deep I don't know when to and when not to practice pot control.

His raise to 50 limited his hand range by a LOT and even pf I just wanted to get this hand to showdown cheaply. Is this bad?

With the second nuts, it's probably playing a bit too scared to be thinking about a cheap showdown even with 800bbs. With 800bbs, I usually like to re-raise pretty big so that I can get value while I feel comfortable with my hand (which is going to be preflop unless I hit a set here) and still knowing that I'll have plenty of room to get away from my hand postflop.

There are other good reasons to flat call preflop, though, IMO.
