Big pair vs. limp-reraise hand

9-handed 3-6 online. I have $598. UTG has $632. Opponent limps UTG (no stats on him). I raise to $24 with KK. BB with $821 calls. Now UTG limp-reraises to $80. I call and BB folds.

Pot is now $184. Flop: 942r. UTG bets out $100. What's the plan here?

Icky spot, I think villan has AA/KK most of the time...Maybe QQ, but I always fold QQ preflop here, and I've folded KK a few times if i know villan is really bad...

as played, mabye call one bet, and re evaluate turn? Can't really fault you for folding eaither...

My standard here is to fold to limp raise UNLESS villan has done it with hands other than AA/KK.... Otherwise I just assume he is standard tricky donkey...

I was actually the one who limp-reraised. This is a very rare move for me and it won't always be AA. My opponent pushed on the flop and I called pretty quickly. After thinking about the hand I thought pushing on the flop was a terrible play on his part, but talked to some people who disagreed. I think in his position I'd call the additional $56 preflop (hoping to stack vs AA if I flop a set). Then I'd call the flop and re-evaluate (probably fold) turn.
