Default $33 NLHE PokerStars - KK maximizing value

How to get most value from this hand? I like to limp OTB here if I think there's a good chance it'll get raised. Do you re-raise or be tricky and call hoping for an ace-free flop?

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t20 (9 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

Hero (t1480)
UTG+1 (t1380)
MP1 (t1570)
MP2 (t1320)
MP3 (t1460)
CO (t720)
Button (t1430)
SB (t2600)
BB (t1540)

Preflop: Hero is in UTG with K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
Hero calls t20, <font color="red">UTG+1 raises to t80</font>, <font color="gray">MP1 folds</font>, <font color="gray">MP2 folds</font>, <font color="gray">MP3 folds</font>, <font color="gray">CO folds</font>, <font color="gray">Button folds</font>, <font color="gray">SB folds</font>, <font color="gray">BB folds</font>, <font color="red">Hero?</font>

You must raise pf here. As often as someone will come over your limp they will also come over your raise. Especially early like this when there are most likely villains overvaluing their starting hands.

Its almost hopeless.

I almnost always bet 100 here anyway. Hoping to get a crazy all in or a re raise.

Or maybe calls from a pp or AQs,AK hand.

I see no reason at all to limp.

This is why i don't like limping with big pairs, if he has a big hand you'll get allin preflop anyway probably, why risky scaring weak/tight players off TT/AQ.

Either call and checkraise all none Axx flops, or raise now. Doesn't really matter - i'd probably just reraise here and try to get allin, but i much prefer raising to open than limping.

Lets say you open to 80-100 and someone has TT+/AK/AQ. They will probably reraise, you push and if they are a random they will call. Its also possible they can get allin preflop with like 22 or AT if they are really bad.

However, now when you limp reraise it might slow them down and they will just call in position - and if they have AK/AQ and flop comes Thi, or it comes A/K/Qhi and they have JJ/TT they will shutdown. It also might come Ahi when he has QQ/JJ/TT and then you both get scared by the flop and action is slowed down.

Raise pre-flop, 3-bet all-in if he lets you. No FPS in SNGs.
