KK early at big field tourney 22$ micro millions

Hello !
This was my 5th hand of the tournament so no reads and everyone had 10000 k stacks w blinds of 10-20.
I get dealt kk in mp 1 and raise to 80 guy next to me calls and the sb makes it 400. I re raise to 1.4 k guy next to me calls and sb rr to 3500.
I will tell you the end of the hand later. I can tell you i folded.
What is the correct play here ?
Does he really have AA here that often or is villan just overplaying his poket pair trying to avoid playing oop play.
I thought it was too early anyway and folded but i think it,s a bit weeak.
What do you think? Please let me know

The guy who keept calling had ak s and the non stop raiser had in fact AA. I folded the hand and busted 3 hours later w QQ vs QQ.
Still even if in this hand villan happened to have aces but what i want to know is if the fold is correct given the pre flop action and stack sizes or is it wayyyy too tight to fold kings there.

dont really like it with another guy in the hand and this stacksize

i'd isolate to like 780 and go from there, your 5bet is way too big OP and with your size i'd just get it in preflop happily. plenty of V who stack off with like JJ/AK at this BI. and even vs QQ+ its no disaster

Re: KK early at big field tourney 22$ micro millions

id say u did valuable pioneering work by folding KK preflop. this will become the new standard now atleast on US sites. it will work for about 6 months perfectly, but after that no more, since it creates a new 5 betting light fab in 1st levels, so suddenly folding a K and a K pre is superexploitable.

I'm not conviced getting in over 200bb let alone 500bb with anything other than AA is good.

That's a valid point but my thinking here is that instead of 4betting we're better of playing most of the flops fast and stacking one of them this way.

It also has like 70000 players so the field can't be too tough. Got in 250bb KK vs. QQ and AA vs. AQo with like 100bb:s shoving only goods when 3-betting in that.
