    Default Two KK preflop decisions

    This 1st one was against a 22/3.8 player.

    Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (5 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    BB ($38.81)
    UTG ($75.44)
    MP ($14.85)
    Hero ($55.20)
    SB ($40.05)

    Preflop: Hero is Button with K, K. SB posts a blind of $0.25.
    UTG raises to $2.5, 1 fold, Hero raises to $9, 2 folds, UTG raises to $22, Hero...

    This hand is against a very stupid aggro player...

    Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ Hero (5 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    Hand 1: If those stats are over a decent sample size I'm inclined to fold (I've never folded KK prf before, but this might be the spot).

    Hand 2: I think I call here and checkraise any decent flop. Pushing over is of course also an option, but I'm afraid you'll allow a lot of worse hands to fold.

    Downswinging holla!
    Agreed with Robert, if the sample size is significant I think you might be able to fold, but it's still tough. People overplay QQ a lot, but some people play QQ really passive and just play it for set value.

    With the second hand I'm just calling and check-raising most flops.
