MTT play with KK hole cards.

i think a large pre-flop raise with a caller or re-raise back to you would give you better info on the hand they have 3Xbb just doesnt really scare anybody

This is why poker is great, because there really isn't a RIGHT was to do something, but consider some things...
-I agree a larger raise is nes. but even if you do the situation would be the same so that doesnt really help for this hand...
-How deep are the stacks? Is it a Turbo? In a turbo tournament pushing may be a smaller mistake here...
-If you push in this situation... what do you expect to call? Most premium hands in this spot will fold, especially early, and those who won't will almost certainly have A or worse AA... pushing pre doesnt seem like the best way to bring chips.

I think a call would be best, and then see what happens on the flop. Certainly a fold pre seems like a scared and foolish thing to do.

Two schools of thought: 1) it's a cooler and you're suppose to get all the money in pre-flop. As bmeelneg said, in the long run it's the right move. 2) imo given the scenario early in tourney and not knowing how people play, i would have just called his 3-bet as you had position. with the button, you have much more control of the pot and can see how he's playing post flop. If he's willing to limp with AA pre-flop, I would assume he would try and slow play post if the flop wasn't too much of a threat to him. Guess what I'm trying to say is that given your position on the button you could have possibly gotten away from the Kings or not bust completely.
