Minreraise is telegraphing a big hand. It might be AA, but if you're in an AA/KK spot, that's just the way the cookie crumbles. You're miles ahead of any range that includes more than QQ+, and he's not laying his hand down after this raise.

Default Re: KK early stages

to make sure i want to get more money and not to let him fold if i move in preflop:

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t200</font>, MP1 calls t200, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP3 raises to t350</font>, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t1250</font>, MP1 folds, MP3 calls t900.

Flop: (t2775) J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t1985 (All-In)</font>, MP3 calls t1985.

Turn: (t6745) 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>

River: (t6745) 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>

Final Pot: t6745
MP3 shows [9h 9c] (three of a kind, Nines)
MP3 collected 6745 from pot

im still not sure if this was the correct play or not, but i think if i move in preflop he will fold his 99

please more comments on this hand

If he calls for 1/3 of his stack with 99 he is probably willing to go all the way with it. I'm sure he'll say "I put you on AK."

most people will fold 99 facing bet-raise and a reraise all in

I think the key here is the size of the guys bet. He's saying that he loves his hand. I think we push because he's calling alot, and there's a lot of cards which could kill your action. AKQJ

I would have just 4bet to like 1100 or something and obv (lol) called a shove. I don't really like shoving 3300 at 350 with KK, it's just too strong. I think you played the hand fine.
