No reads on opp. Only my 3rd hand at table. Did see that opp was multi tabling. (an additional 3 cash games and 1 MTT)

Was my early pre flop raise to small?? I generally like 5x the BB with the AA/KK.

PokerStars Pot-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (5 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

UTG ($29.10)
MP ($90.10)
Hero ($20)
SB ($27.65)
BB ($26.45)

Preflop: Hero is Button with K, K.
UTG calls $0.25, 1 fold, Hero raises to $1.1, 1 fold, BB calls $0.85, UTG calls $0.85. I should have raised how much here?

Flop: ($3.40) 9, 7, T (3 players)
BB checks, UTG checks, Hero bets $1.75, 1/2 the pot probably to small again here. Is a pot size bet right?BB raises to $5.75, I didnt like the BB smooth call of my raise pre flop. This reraise is very scarey. What do you put them on and what is your play? UTG folds, Hero raises to $10, should I have smooth called here, reraised, folded or moved in?BB raises to $25.35, By opp moving AI I put them on aces or a set. Should I have folded? 4/1 Hero calls $8.90 (All-In).

Turn: ($41.20) 9 (2 players, 1 all-in)

River: ($41.20) Q (2 players, 1 all-in)

Final Pot: $41.20

What do you put opp on pre flop, flop, turn and river?? I really felt like I blew every street here.
It's not how many pots you win, it's what's in them that counts.

bet at least 3/4 of the pot in this heavy drawy flop Such a small weak bet on your part couldn't really deny any drawing odds though!!!!!!!! His preflop calling range should include AQ+ ,most of pocket pairs and some strong suited broadway cards.
i 'd call his reraise and reevaluate on the turn. If he made a huge bet on this turn, i would lay down my KK but if checked to, i'd check behind or move in depending on what type of villains i play with.
On the other hand, if you are willing to risk losing a lot and plan to pay him off, moving all-in on the flop was the best.
anyways, you should always have a plan in your head before betting out with good hands. Ask yourself this question: " am i willing to lose a lot in this hand?"

If you generally like 5x BB with AA/KK pre-flop then why did you only raise to $1.10? Yes, it is probably too small. I think your re-raise to $10 on the flop is bad. If you do that then you might as well push imo. At that point over 1/2 your stack is in the middle. I think calling and folding to a big turn bet or just folding to the c/r are fine. Villain is a multi-tabler and probably has you beat on the flop. Don't stack off with big pairs too easily. If you do that too often then you are just exchanging blows with the fish that you always stack in this spot.
