Haven't been at the table for very long but it's been very loose with large raises all over the place, even for a 3 handed table.

I decided that a check raise pre-flop would work quite easily here due to villains tendency to raise almost any limped pot.

This worked to my pleasure but his reraise worried me. Is there any way I can fold here, or even consider folding, to possible aces.

Or is it more likely that he's not thinking my hand is that strong despite the check raise and is pushing with medium povket pair or ak?

BB ($9.80)
Hero ($9.55)
SB ($16.85)

Preflop: Hero is Button with K, K.
Hero calls $0.10, SB completes, BB raises to $0.5, Hero raises to $2.1, SB folds, BB raises to $9.8,

Sometimes its aces. sometimes its the other 2 kings, queens, AK or hell maybe even AQ suited or jacks or something crazy.

Given the stakes, your read, and the fact it's three handed, I think folding this would be a mistake.

Please don't ever fold this. You're 3-handed at a $10 NL table. I'm glad you're thinking, but don't think too hard. If you're ever in this situation and run into AA I'll give you $10. Please don't ever fold this.

would have been automatic but he had previosuly folded to any strong check raise so this one made me take a step back

Why would you limp on the button 3-handed with KK?

He's probably making move with some PP (not necessarily aces) or some other top hand (AK, AQ ...) - you dominate all of them (excluding aces)and given the pot size this is instacall

Only fold KK PF with a really, really, really good read. I can't recall a time where I've folded KK PF though...
