villain was unknown(8/6.7 around 75 hands) and didnt do anything out of line at this table. Fold, call/reevaluate or just shove over?

You have three options:
1) call. check push turn
2) fold
3) raise
I think I would follow this order. Raising is the worst Idea because you're not going to get more value out of a raise against a player making a move, and you have no reads to suggest villain is making a move here. If you are up against a better hand, it adds another reason not to raise.
I put folding as 2nd option because I don't see myself folding KK here most of the time.

I would snap fold because you are 50/50 at best. Without the information that he is a complete donk, and the # of people behind him, make me fold.

My bankroll is the amount of money I would spend or lose before I got a job. It is calculated by adding my net worth to whatever I can borrow.

All this fold advice makes me very scared of 200NL. This is insta-push for me at 25NL....even vs a 8/6.7

this made me think a lot about moving down to 100 NL. Indeed scary when in doubt.

if i call his raise, i already put over 1/3 of my starting stack in the pot and past commitment threshold. After thinking this way, shoving right away might be a little better than call/reevaluate. As played, i chose to fold my KK coz his line looked pretty strong in multi-way pot.
