Default Playing KK Preflop in the Micro NL game

Hey guys I have two questions about this hand I just played. First of all is $2
a correct size reraise or is something like $1-$1.50 better? Second of all, in the microstake game, do u ever fold KK here proflop? With a higher NL game you might be able to say the villian has aces but in micro it could easily be AJ, JJ, 77, ect ppl push crap hands. What do you think, call the all in?

I would have to have a really really good read to fold KK Preflop (Dont get me wrong, I have done it maybe 3-4 times in 4 years of play, but this was after a long time playing with the guy.) I wouldnt fold here

This could be AK,AQ,AJ,QQ .......tough break really considering all of these crush you

I would make it a little more, I think the pot is something like 1.65 when it gets to you, you need to call .50. After your call of .50 the pot would be 2.15. I add .50 more and now my raise would be 2.65, i think this is a pot sized raise. Btw I am jumping out of my chair trying to throw my money to the middle preflop w/KK unless he was a complete a nit

It was too small, 0.30 then 0.60 your pot size bet should be about $2.75? I think
