Default KK in RR pot vs resistance, 200bb deep

A friend (2+2er) played this hand. Villain is 27/12 or so, Hero is running at about 22/20. Thoughts on flop and (as played) turn? Friend says he instapot both streets.

I think I'd like to see him take some agressive action somewhere after the flop, either lead the flop and check/call turn, or check/call flop and donk turn. This way we can still get action from QQ-JJ, but if we get raised taking this line we can fold safely.

Lead flop and evaluate, as played I dont like. You really have shown no strength at any point. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img].

Yeah I don't get the 3-bet pre, then check/call check/fold here at all. I think any other line is probably preferable to this one.

HE PUT HIM ON AK

Bet the flop. As the hand played either check raise turn all in, or call turn and push river. Most people at 1/2 aren't good enough to make those bet sizes with AA/sets.

What "resistance" is there in any of this hand by villain? Hero made a reraise and then played like a pussy postflop. Doesn't there have to be some further agression from Hero in order to say that villain is "resisting" here?

I don't really get what your "friend" was trying to do here.

Why are we checking that flop? A beautiful flop to keep an overpair in the hand. Just lead the flop.

Very clever AJ; however, the "Hero is running at 22/20" line in the OP should obviously disqualify me from having played this hand. Also, I don't fold overpairs in RR pots. Also, this was on Stars.
