($22) ITM, Big Blind with KK, can I let em go?

Villain seems to be a decent player. He has been show down a couple weak hands earlier however. I have a tight image and have been playing nothing but solid hands.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (3 handed) converter

Button :#A500AF(villain)/ (t5268)
SB (t3012)
Hero (t5220)

Preflop: Hero is BB with K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
Button :#A500AF(villain)/ raises to t600, SB calls t500, Hero raises to t1800, Button :#A500AF(villain)/ raises to t3800, SB folds, Hero raises to t5220, Button :#A500AF(villain)/ calls t1420.

Could I honestly make a case for letting the kings go after
his reraise? That raise looks so much like aces. I didn't have the heart to let em go 3-hands though. Thoughts?

Hi Zizz, welcome to the forum.

L1 or ITM...you are not laying down KK PF. You played it perfectly actually - the reraise was spot on (vs. push).

You absolutely do not fold the kings. You got what you wanted: all in pre-flop. Even thinking about folding for longer than .0000002 seconds is in my opinion ridiculous.

Thanks for the replies. I think I just need to stop beating myself up over because he had aces. He could've easily had JJ or QQ there. Gotta suck it up and and get back to the tables.
