Medium stakes, in a full ring game.

What situations would it be an option to limp with KK UTG?

I believe in raising UTG all the time. you limit the competition and their starting hand range. Hoping for someone to open the door preflop can be dangerous and I'd rather have AA or AK but some people limp with KK.
My thoughts are:
considering a loose passive table. you raise more in an effort to scare. I like overbets here. 5BB... or more sometimes.

considering a loose aggressive table. you raise less hoping for a reraise. 2.5-3BB

cosidering a tight passive table. you raise less hoping for a reraise or one caller/shipper in the blinds.

considering a tight aggressive table. you raise more hoping for a reraise or one caller or shipper in the blinds.

its good to be the 1st raiser because if the pot is raise 3 times more. I'd consider folding in this case.
Don't knock on deaths door... ring the bell and run! Death hates that LOL.

id limp about 10-25% of the time, depending on aggresiveness of the table...obviously hoping for a raise so i can reraise..i hate slowplaying big hands, it rarely works so i look to get alot in preflop..
