$4 NL HE Full Ring: KK faced with A on flop

Did I make the right move by folding or should I have called? Or should I have made a continuation bet?

Raise to 15c preflop, 6c is way to small and you have to call the flop and re-evaluate on the turn.

This. When I played 2nl my STANDARD raise was 10c. Never ever ever ever ever 6. That's just too small for anyone to fold

Okay, so should I do 10bb + 1 for every limper?

4xbb +1 per limper is pretty standard, which would be $0.14 here - but you're oop, many people will increase a bit because of this.

While the 4xbb+1 is standard, there are reasons you could play it bigger - I don't blame bgomez for using 5x as a standard at this limit, if you think worse hands will call a larger raise (and at 2nl, I think that's the case), then by all means!

There are two to four very good threads that were posted over the last year on open raise sizing, positional sizing, etc. - if you're interested, you might use the Search function to look for them (I'd find them if I had time, sorry!).

While it usually is not a huge mistake to fold KK on an A-high flop, esp. OOP, you have to call this, it could be a pure button stab and you're letting him get away with it on a 6-cent steal.

Raise 0.2 and he will probably fold
If he got A it is weak A with low kicker.
