should be 3-betting pre you're gonna cause yourself grief here just calling letting wide ranges see a flop, raising the flop is fine and when mp2 bombs it im thinking hes got something here but kk is too strong to fold so im calling

I'm thinking you have to shove here, because raising will only create an empty sidepot situation, and you can't really bet half of your stack either so I'd just shove. Opinions? As played flop fine of course.

preflop: 3b to 3200 and stack off

flop: as played, c/r to 3600 and stack off

I agree with cactu here. It's more than 10x but the extra dead money makes up for it.

Flop - it's marginal but we are strong enough to call.

I like this, nothing really to think about post. I might size it a bit smaller to around 2500-2800 because KK is made hand and there are very few flops you aren't happy stacking off with even if it goes 3 ways.
