Default easy fold for KK?

No reads, no stats - just sat a few hands ago.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (6 max, 6 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

Hero ($24.75)
BB ($7.40)
UTG ($22)
MP ($30.05)
CO ($23.25)
Button ($15.90)

Preflop: Hero is SB with K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. Hero posts a blind of $0.10.
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP raises to $1</font>, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises to $1.75</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero (poster) raises to $9.9</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP folds, CO calls $8.25.

Flop: ($21.25) 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, CO calls $13.25 (All-In), Hero ????.

Is a c/f the right move here? Should I have made a c/b or was checking the right move? Was the 3bet the proper move pf?

Yeah - the only reasonable holding that he has that you beat is QQ. Figure him for AK or maybe AQ. I fold here.

personally, being first to act, I like to make a continuation bet, CO has about $13 remaining. Rather than me have to make a decision to call or not, I'd rather put him on the decision to get the rest of his chips in the pot.
Again, just how I would have played this, it's not neccessarily the correct / best way to play.

I don't know if i like this play. You'd be losing alot of money to a guy who's very likely holding an ace that you can't push him off of. Check fold, IMO.

PF is fine, a tad aggressive maybe. You could accomplish the same with 5-7 bucks. But you played it just fine.

ITs a little on the large side for my tastes. If you are looking to take down the pot, push. If you want one caller, about 6 or 7 is right.

if you are going to put him in on the flop, might as well check call his push.

Am I correct in thinking the continuation bet might not be neccessary given the pre-flop action? I mean, doesn't checking the flop look more suspicious given the re-raise?

Not sure, just asking.
