Default KKxx bluff

Second reraiser has AAxx for sure, and he's capable of laying it down on the flop with this much money behind. Should I just pitch this preflop given that my KK is relatively uncoordinated? Is this a good spot to bluff postflop and if so was my bet-sizing good?

It clearly doesn't matter what you have in your hand. The question you are asking is "Will AA fold to a pot bet on this flop?"
The answer is probably yes, unless the guy has 57 in hand also or something similar.

well, we know what you probably dont have

i think its the right play. its your only decent chance of taking down the pot.

lol, if sb or bb calls, now what?

its going to be a battle of the brave or most stubborn.

that would be pretty funny if sb smooth called with top set and nut straight with a back door diamond draw, bb folds, turn is a spade, check check, river ace of spade, sb bets out now because he's an idiot.......and you know the rest

Purely because of the preflop action, I don't like it so much. It looks like you have what you have, and this flop really isn't such a dangerous flop for someone that's raised pre. You might well be ahead of the shortstack but I think you'll find yourself checkraised all-in on this flop by aces too often. This move is fine sometimes but the board needs to be more representable and you ought to at least have outs.

reads would be good here (including your own image) - if you have been active i would definatly be checking aces to you here so you can hang yourself, if you arnt making these moves every other orbit you might get away with it
