Phoenix, you said he's ultra tight. You pulled a gay @ss limp reraise with AA and he still reraised and reraised slightly, therefore he probally has AA here and your probally way ahead. I don't think it's cut and fold by any means. I'm pretty sure it's either a free roll or as bad as a 2 to 1 underdog. If you don't like these spots, push it in preflop. I think your giving way too much away here if you make these folds regularly.

Sorry 148 to win 407. Your odds are 2.75 to 1. Your a 35:65 underdog against KK. Odds are your against AA.

Another thing due to your limp-reraising, you shouted out your hand and you got yourself stuck in this spot. Personally I reraise all-in pf or atleast reraise PF. Do you honestly think he folds KK for 1 more reraise? Let's say to 100?

Don't count the money you're throwing in with the total pot. It's around 1.5:1.

Edit: I originally thought it was 1.5 but I went by Capone's numbers and got a different answer. 1.5 is right.

MoM and Capone,

Yes, he hit a miracle flop this time, but pushing because I'm afraid of that would be idiotic. 90% of the time he won't flop a king and I'll trap him for a continuation bet, or I'll bet and he'll push, or we'll both check and I'll catch him for two big bets on the turn and river, or some other scenario where I make more money off him. EV call >> EV push.

Yes, AK/QQ at 5% sounds fair.

I can't say he's 100% to fold KK to a smaller reraise to about 100, but 5 bets is pretty smelly and I think there's a high probability he thinks about it for a minute and mucks. If he doesn't he's folding to my flop push on any non K-high/non monotone flop.

If he will call crai with AA, why wouldn't you want to make that move? Yah, you are only 35% against KK, but you are FREEROLLING against AA. Even if he has AA 1 time in 4, the play is +EV.

I think you're risking 158 to win 249, or 1.57:1 - right? That's like 39%, and you're only a 34% dog to if he has KK every time. If has anything other than KK even once in a while here, don't we want to get our money in?

You have him on AA or KK, you're chopping or losing on that flop, this is the most obvious fold on the planet.

Nope.

You said it yourself, 90% he's on AA/KK. That's more than enough non-KK possibility to c/r all-in on the flop.

Pushing pre-flop against this opponent is akin to lighting money on fire. Any debate to the contrary can only be construed as "your read was wrong, OP".

Assume: Villain has 1/4 AA; 3/4 KK. He will call all-in.
The 35% equity will have to be verified (he has redraw to FH/Quads) but is an OK estimate since we have the 2 outs to top set.

EV(all-in) = 1/4(.35*(+249) + .65*(0) )
+ 3/4(.35*(+249) + .65*(-158))
= 21.79 - 11.66
= 10.13

However, one point might be that he'd check behind on the flop with AA, so his bet may reveal some information. (i.e. this bet is small enough to encourage a call/action, so the probabilistic weighting might be more than 75% on KK) Also, notice his failure to re-raise all-in preflop giving himself a chance to fold if you push.
