It depends. How often have you been raising? What is the standard raise at the table? Do you want to get any action on your hand?

If you've been limping/min raising the whole time, and then raise it big, you are giving your hand away. If you raise it too big, will you get any callers?

If you've been raising every hand to 5 and you raise it up big, it may give your hand away... a lot of this is going to be read dependent and giving us more information about your table.

But in general, do you want 4 callers when you are holding KK? No, you want 2-3 callers at most. But figure out the table dynamics since any answer is going to be "it depends"

It's fine.

5xbb might actually be a little much.

You can't anticipate how many callers you'll get. Thats why UTG sucks so much.

Well I was actually playing TAGG, but the table was very LAGGy - One guy was just raising with garbage to try to steal the blinds while he was UTG + 1
