Not Raising Pre Flop with KK against Calling Stations Early MTT

Ok, ok, ok.....i realize under a microscope in isolation this one hand appears extremely nitty.

I'm not trying to say the way i played this is or should be a standard play.....it was the specifics of this situation.

Is there ever a situation where you wouldn't re-raise with KK? I hate the always play this way rule.

As ZBThorton indicates the time for this move is when you're trapping someone, not now.

For the future it is generally best when posting hands not to post results. This will often color peoples responses. On this hand you should stop at the point where you're deciding what to do on the flop or possibly after your fold asking if this was correct. In this case it's unlikely your answers would have been different. But often it can be if we know what the villian(s) had.
