I haven't ran any sims, but I would suspect you are wrong on every count. KK is simply one of the best pairs to have and in some ways is less problematic than AA. Passing this hand is a big leak.

KKXXss UTG is not an easy hand to play if you get called in position by decent opponents, especially if they are willing to float the flop.

AAXXss is much easier to play IMO.

True. I find AAKK ds very easy to play. KK74ss is not very easy to play, but in a 6-max game if you can isolate versus 1 or 2 players then you are in good shape.

I meant that with the nut flush draw, I have A LOT more confidence betting big on the turn than with the 2nd nut flush draw and an overpair. It is probably a psychological thing. Would you have bet big on the turn with the nut flush draw?

I agree with your earlier comment that if you are going to play KKXX in the manner the OP did, just limp UTG and fold if you miss a set.

Why is this river a call. I've been playing omaha so [censored] bad if so, I usually just c/f all overpairs if I don't have a redraw.

Because a lot of players would only bet 67 or a bluff.
