Hero is a 23 yo white guy at a loose passive 1-2 table and has been for 4hrs. He has about 300$
Villain is a middle aged white guy. He has about 1k in front of him, he has established an open raise size of 8$ for his entire range from any position. Overall, he has been opening wider than most players at the table, and has not folded to any 3-bets. That being said, villain has not 4-bet at all, and has only 3-bet once himself since we've been at the table. We did not see his holdings
Hero has the most frequent 3-bets at the table, which isn't saying much, but has shown that both 99 and AQ are in his 3-bet range.
Villain opens to 8$ from MP, CO and Button call.
Hero wakes up with KK in the small blind, he makes it 46$
Folds to Villain who makes it 146$ (Max bet of 100$ in this casino)
Folds back around to Hero.
Hero??

All my chips in the middle.
Yes, it kind of sucks that this is his first 4 bet and i get a feeling you ran into AA since this is a 2+2 thread-but i mean we dont have a choice the way i see it with these stacksizes and the dynamic described.
After you have been the most active 3 bettor at the table including hands such as 99 and AQ, villain is likely to feel that hands like for example QQ or AK is the absolute stones against you.
