Simple KK 4-betting Question

Reraiser is jjberns, a regular at NL100. Decent TAG, not an idiot, not making a preflop move here. The non-PSR is probably a tell that says I want some action. What's my optimal play?

call and c/r AI on most flops, c/c A high flops and fold to further aggression.

If he thinks you will 4-bet with less than you have then do it. If he thinks it can only be AA/KK then call.

Reraise OOP w/ KK unless you have a good read that you can trap him easily. There are a good number of flops that will mess you up so get the money in now, when it seems like he wants to play with his marginal raise.

By calling, we invite UTG along....is that not an issue?

tbh it's not a huge issue, some may say it is, but it will make the pfr-r play more straightforward so it helps.

I either make a PSR 4bet or 4bet shove (if he 3bets at all light)

Yeah, I did the PSR. I think pushing and calling is better than that in hindsight. At least I hit my draw. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

looks good
pretty standard flop to get stacked by AA on
