Folding K-K preflop seems like it should be standard play if you're getting raised and reraised huge.
You really need a read before calling an all in with KK in the mid - upper limits... just like you need a read to FOLD KK to an all in the low limits.

PS: on my last preflop all-in'.. at $50 NL, there was a $10 raise with A9o , called by TT, and then both called my all in with KK.....

EDIT: This is how I handle a reraise with KK in the lower limits.
