The prompter kept telling you you had options, and obviously you chose the wrong ones. You deserved to lose.

Fold preflop

Quit being results orientated. Go pick up a few books and start reading why this hand really doesn't matter.

Beat: Illiterate?

I usually just fold KK to a re-raise pre-flop, since it's a damn ace magnet. A lot of people will think that's really nitty but I can find better spots to get my money in.

I used to play like that as well, hesitant to commit preflop. Long story short I think that folding KK to a re-raise (just one) is kind of a silly idea
