first of all, if you re-raise all-in with KK against a huge raise, and it is true that the only hand that calls you is AA, then MOST of the time, you are going to steal a rather large pot, so this is +EV.
however, it is clearly not true that only aces will call you... at least not at the $25 NL tables. just yesterday i re-raised all-in with KK and some guy called with AKo. needless to say, he did not hit his 3-outer. the other day i re-raised all-in with AA and got called by QQ. he missed his 2-outer while i filled up a boat.
lay down KK preflop? never!
