Default Live 4-8 game No Limit Heads up UHOH

I'm one of the button and get dealt KK, BB raises, I reraise, knocks everyone out, Dealer says heads up no limit, He calls all in, and I call. I turn over KK, and he turns over AA and wins unimproved.

Did I let my emotions get the best of me? I think maybe it should have been obvious that the only hand he would go all in with preflop would be aces. Should I have folded KK to that?

I would have called one more raise ($4), not an all-in, and seen the flop. If a K flopped and he still wanted to go all-in, then I would've called.

He can't just push all-in, can he? I mean if its 4/8, and he's got $200 in front of him, he can't just push all-in. He has to reraise, reraise, reraise, etc.

Right, but if you're going to end up raising and re-raising you can make things easier by just saying "All-in." The original poster could've said he didn't want to go all-in and just raised another $4 or called and seen the flop. He didn't have to call the guy's all-in.

It went something to the tune of, "You willing to go all in?" me, "Yeah, I'll go all in."
and dealer says, "You both agree?"
and that was that, I know it probably it wasn't the best Idea now.

You need us help you figure out if that was a bad idea?
