Sometimes people think that it's bad to play big pairs multi-way because there's a greater chance of getting sucked out on. That's really not true. Of course the win percentage will go down but that is more than compensated for by the bigger pots. Having a big pair is the most profitable situation in poker and it's even better multi-way. Of course you don't want to be a retard about it postflop but we don't 3-bet to get heads up. We 3-bet for value.

Equity Win Tie
MP2 35.53% 34.12% 1.41% { KK }
MP3 12.83% 11.76% 1.07% { 99+, ATs+, KQs, AQo+ }
CO 12.97% 11.88% 1.09% { 99+, ATs+, KQs, AQo+ }
BU 12.83% 11.74% 1.09% { 99+, ATs+, KQs, AQo+ }
SB 12.92% 11.82% 1.10% { 99+, ATs+, KQs, AQo+ }
BB 12.92% 11.84% 1.08% { 99+, ATs+, KQs, AQo+ }
So if we got all-in preflop with KK heads up we'd make 0.68 * 200 = 136 bb.
But if we could get all-in preflop 6-way we'd make 0.35 * 600 = 210 bb.
