Ok, not much of a read on villian except that he has a huge stack and hasnt been playing garbage in the hands that i have seen. I used to just shove all in to a prelop raise. If how I played this is standard, so be it. What is the best way to save myself chips "if" I am up against the one hand thats better than mine?
Looking back on this, I am now wondering if I would have fired a 5$ bet and got a call or raise, I might get away from a monster, I think I would probably only be up against maybe 3 hands against a decent player (AA-JJ).

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (5 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

BB ($25)
UTG ($10)
MP ($48.10)
Hero ($24.90)
SB ($65.65)

Preflop: Hero is Button with K, K. UTG posts a blind of $0.25.
UTG (poster) checks, 1 fold, Hero raises to $1, SB raises to $2, 1 fold, UTG folds, Hero raises to $4, SB calls $2.

Flop: ($8.50) 7, 6, 3 (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $20.9 (All-In), SB calls $20.90.

Turn: ($50.30) J (2 players, 1 all-in)

River: ($50.30) 5 (2 players, 1 all-in)

Final Pot: $50.30

Thanks.

 I would reraise more preflop ($7-8). This should get the hands with previously profitable implied odds (SC's, low/mid PP's) to fold and you will be up against hands like A-K, J-J+.

Once you do that, AI on the flop is no longer such an overbet. At 25NL, your push will still probably be called by J-J and Q-Q, but there isn't any way i can see to get away from this hand if your opponent has A-A.

Considering the fact that he only called your reraise preflop, it would usually be less likely that villain was holding aces. Usually people will excitedly go AI if someone raises over their raise.

Good points, doesnt seem in the situation that if i were up against aces, there would be anyway of knowing %100, especially at this level. Noted as far as the reraise higher prelop.
