I've always said I don't fold KK preflop and I haven't yet. But I also don't play with that deep of money so its hard to say what to do here. I'd like to hear peoples opinions and see the results.

Any reads?
Absent the "he'd only do this with AA" read, I call. I've seen people play like these enough (even at fairly high stakes) with non-AA hands to think he's as likely as not to make this move with a few other hands. There's obviously an argument to be made that he make this play with AA purely because you'd expect a smaller reraise to get value, but with the action he may be confident in getting called.
That said, I still think that knowing nothing else, I'm calling here. Aggression and overaggression just gets too common in higher stakes for me to know I'm behind.

I would call, if he has AA he played it unusually and I always pay off unusually played AA's. I mean theres no way he knows that when he calls youll raise him further on, so im betting he has some small pocket pair.

jjall_out opened in late position with no limpers for $42 indicating he probably had a big hand, and so my big reraise should signal a monster (either K-K or A-A) to the player on the button. Since I had two kings in my hand, the range of hands I thought were most likely for him to be holding were A-A, Q-Q or J-J. If he had Q-Q, J-J or worse, I would expect him to show some caution, since from his perspective my play looks very much like either A-A or K-K. Since he didn't show any caution whatsoever, I had to give him credit for aces, and figured he must've been trying to trap jjall_out:
