$4 NLHE 6-max: $4 NLHE : KK facing raise on dry board

I had KK on BTN. UTG raises to 14c. I 3bet to 55c. He flats and it's heads up.

Flop is J25 rainbow. He leads out with a 77c bet.

From previous experience with him, I know he's aggressive and has trouble laying down a hand. I am pretty sure I am ahead here. I think he has a hand like TT or AQ. If he has AJ I know he would call all in. If he has a set I think he check raises me instead of leading out.

What is the best move here facing this raise? Should I just push it all in? Should I just call hoping he fires another bullet? Any raise would commit me anyway.

I have around $2.50 left.

As opponent has trouble laying down a hand then I think a call or a raise would be fine. Personally I just flat call here and let the villain hang themselves on the turn but if you think you can get it in on the flop go for it.

whats his stack size

He's got me covered.

I don't think he is particularly strong in this spot. So if I just flat he might check fold the turn anyway and I risk an A hitting on the turn.

I say shove. You said he has trouble laying down hands and you are most likely ahead here IMO. So why not get the rest of your money in now as your shove will be ~ 25% more than pot sized. If you just call your still pretty much committed aren't you? AND you risk the A hitting and scaring you if he has AJ or Ax.. He could just be Cbetting with AK or something. So I think the best move would be to shove the flop while you probably have the best hand and he has the ability to call with worse.

What does it matter if an ace hits the turn? How do you know the opponent has an ace? I dont see what the fear of seeing a turn is. If its a scare card for you it my well be a scare card for the villain as well. Also it it much more likely that the turn will bring a blank for you and your opponent than an ace.

Had another one where I had KK at UTG+1. UTG limps. I put in a 20c raise. Got 3 callers...

Flop comes 10J6 rainbow. SB leads out with a pot size bet. UTG calls. What do I do? (One person to act behind me)

I have about $2.80. Pot is now $2.72.

This is a VERY loose table. They were min-raising preflop a ton, and I don't recall one hand that didn't go to the flop at least. They could literally have anything. This is the first time I raised in 3 rotations, yet still got 3 callers. I was regretting not raising bigger preflop.

I put the first guy on a J. I didn't think UTG was particularly strong either. I don't think any of the first two guys are folding. The question is how often am I ahead here.

10J was a very distinct possibility although KJ, AJ type of hands were likely too.

just shove

Ok thanks. I did shove the 2nd hand and got called by 2 ppl with worse. Was wondering if I was too aggressive.
