Unless you know this guy is a total rock and doesn't raise without the nuts or close to it, you are never folding KK here. Ever. That's one of the advantages of buying in short, you don't have tough decisions with overpairs and TPTK type hands. You get it all in on the flop everytime, and the rest is history.

Sure he might put you all in, but then again he might not and you may save a few bucks. In general, I say define your hand w/ a reraise, but you are right. If you reraise you can't fold anyway, so why define the hand? Just call him down.
Calling down here just sucks. If you were 100BB's or deeper, then your argument has more merit. Any card that comes off will make your hand "worse" (except for the 2 remaining kings), and give your opponent a free chance to suck out on you if you are ahead. The only reason to call down here is if you have a good read your opponent is a bluffing machine, and want him to continue. Other than that this hand is 100% standard.
