Default KK preflop decision ($2/4 NL)

Hello Gents,

This is my second had in my first orbit at this table. I don't usually play this limit (mostly 1/2 NL) so I didn't have any PT stats on anyone.

Only read is that UTG raiser also raised preflop as UTG+1 the previous hand and won the pot after betting out on a ragged flop. I had AK in that hand and folded on the flop.

Full Tilt Poker
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $2/$4
9 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: $417.90
UTG+1: $380
MP1: $86
MP2: $511
Hero: $382
CO: $466
Button: $482.90
SB: $234.80
BB: $92

Pre-flop: (9 players) Hero is MP3 with
<font color="#cc0000">UTG raises to $14</font>, 2 folds, <font color="#cc0000">MP2 raises to $24</font>, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $88</font>, 5 folds, <font color="#cc0000">MP2 raises all-in $511</font>, Hero folds.
Uncalled bets: $423 returned to MP2.

Results:
Final pot: $196

My initial thought is that I don't want to shove a full buy-in into the pot preflop with KK. So I thought I'd raise large enough so that only AA could reraise and therefore I would know where I stand.

Good line? Stupid line? What's your standard line here?

I got berated after folding. People were accusing me of trying to steal. I just know that when someone re-re-raises preflop it usually means only one thing.


BTW: Please don't reply if you are just going to say "I didn't know people still played full ring." [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] I'm asking nicely and am not trying to start a flame war. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I dont fold KK for &lt;100bb pf. It's as simple as that.

Usually I'd just min 4bet preflop, then most likely get to showdown with a bunch of min bets and raises.
