$16 - KK too scared?

I think a big leak of mine is that I am too scared when an overcard hits.
Especially when it's an Ace (more likely in their range).
How would you play this hand?
What if button shoves on the turn?

Fire out again. Unless AT is in their range, you are still ahead (assuming you were ahead on the flop too).

What if he pushes over my bet?

Probably bet 400 on turn and muck to shove. I can't see any hand you're ahead of shoving the turn (JT/QT probably mucks or calls a turn bet).

i would bet 300 on flop, and shove turn.

pushing the turn is completely retarded-u get called when behind and fold out anything worse. exactly the opposite of your goal

i agree with betting big on the flop. You are way ahead of his range and at this level people are more than willing to call large pot sized bets when way behind. You really don't fold out many hands that would of called your smaller bet.

I like pf and flop and would prolly c/c on the turn.
Can't see a worse hand calling there.

With that board my last concern is an Ace. I would lead out again as a value bet. He's most likely on a draw. I would bet 400. If you got trapped, oh well.
