KK is a similar hand to AA. So raise it up preflop. All-in is rarely the best move. Cbet, even if the flop comes ace high, unless you know your opponent plays every ace.

I prefer to play this kind of hands making call,
and hoping that the flop did not bring me surprises like aces or meters Projected strong ...
Depending on many things: your position, your stack, blinds, etc ... Generally, the action I prefer is to raise. If I have an aggressive player at table, sometimes I play them slowly, or if I'm at SB and all the round is folded ... Even though, one day I fold them because there were two guys involved in a all-in situation and they were in the bubble.

A raise looks the most correct thing to do in this case. You have a very good hand (remember there are no such thing as winning hand pre-flop) and you try to guarantee to go watch flop only with oponents who also consider to have good cards in their hands. Acording to the size of your raise, you can imagine the type of hand they are holding.

Lol guy, this poll is a bit useless... its great to ask questions about strategy... ... but a similar poll have already been done for AA... if u play poker, you know that AA and KK are the two best hands so if you know the strategy for AA, you know the strategy for Kings....(little difference is kings have good chance to be beaten if ace on the flop... but you know that because you note it in the poll...).

I think you should make a good raise, just to push out someone that has a weak ace, if there are any TT+ hands you should receive a reraise and then push all in.

kk, you definitely have to make a raise before flop, unless you are in an early position with aggressive players. limping with this hand is inviting a badbeat and allin with this won't let you win more chips
If your in any position raise 3-5x BB. If someone raises in front, reraise 3x bet. If someone raises behind u, reraise 4x bet. If someone pushes, consider the player before calling.
