    spr of 15 Unless this guy plays like 60% of his hands and 4betshoves over all 3-bets this is pretty much a fold to the first RR.
    The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which unskilled individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly rating their ability much higher than average. This bias is attributed to a metacognitive inability of the unskilled to recognize their mistakes

    With no reads, I always give people the benefit of the doubt when they play a hand strong like that.

    When you reraise, what is he possibly continuing with that doesn't have you crushed? I very rarely see somebody try a check-raise with any kind of draw.

    After his check-raise I instantly abandon the hand.

    Looks like a set to me, I don't think he's spazzing like that with a draw or worse king. I'd fold to the check-raise as well, especially with no reads I feel like it's safer to give him credit and wait until you have some reads to base a better decision off of.

    I fold to the check raise. At this level, a check raise on the flop usually means TPGK is beat.

    Id play my pockets on the BB the same way, just call the raise and set mine. Definatey not going all in on a pair. SMALL HAND SMALL POT BIG HAND BIG POT

    The villain has probably guessed you've paired the king, but he doesn't care. That should be all the incentive you need to fold to his re-raise.

    This is why it's really really bad to have no reads at all - I could see myself folding calling or raising depending on the opponent.
    Without anything I probably take a card off. You're in position, you're not ahead of anything but a draw, and an A high flushdraw or a gutshot and flushdraw are in very good shape against you, so I wouldn't be too thrilled to get it in on the flop.
    It's also good if you can make some generalization of how people play at the level. Do they c/r bluff do they c/r draws a lot...

    Folding to the c/r is definitely not a big mistake, and quite likely your best option.

    I agree with Luco. With no reads, the villain is telling you he isn't afraid of a pair of kings. Fold.

    The thing with lol-fold is that it's immediately exploitable. A smart opponent will realize that you fold too much to c/raises and just c/r the crap out of you.

    If nobody is exploiting it, and you think the generic 25NL villain has a set here more than anything else, then folding is right of course.
