If he has AA, he has you, if he has ANYTHING ELSE, you have him killed. The 12$ you lifted from him is enough to many many orbits for free (assuming he folds)

1 in 8.5 times you are going to see a flop you like (even less actually), what of the times you don't flop that king and he makes move on the flop? Rarely should you put yourself into these positions, and ONLY when you have a rock-solid read on a player.

But, considering your mistake preflop, folding the flop is really your only option.
Huh? This post doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

You're saying just push all-in preflop whenever you have K-K and get reraised? Why? So he folds inferior hands and calls with A-A?

By the way, this is a cash game, not a tournament. Harrington's book is about tournaments.
