Little extra depth is needed. Can't speculate if you're facing five limps, a 3x from early position, or a 2.5x reraise from the small blind. Best theory, build the pot if it wasn't done to a comfortable size without you preflop, and throw your weight around with your early position (barring number of players, an ace on the flop, or flush/straight heavy boards your cards can't build off of) and decide if you feel good enough about getting the rest in later. Short stacks it's either a must shove preflop, or feigning a suckout through five cards playing bleed bet poker

As many have said it really depends on the action before you, as well as the opponents that are in the hand. You want to try and win as big as pot as possible but you don;t ant too many opponents in the hand. So usually I would raise unless I was against one or two opponents I knew would be aggressive and view a call (or check) as a weak hand and then attack.

I'll usually play it lowkey and just check. After the flop, I'll bet low as to keep the table around, as long as I know I'm going to win. Each round raise the bet a little bit. At the river, hit it hard. Just hope you have a 3 of a kind by the end.

i usually check this on the BB, play it slow until you don't see any Aces on the board, but be weary of other connectors (flushes,straights)
Some might flop a set, 3 times ive held KK today and only won 1 hand, kept folding the other 2
so be carefull

Man, even Matt Damon went all in from the BB with the cowboys. And he was playing Teddy KGB!

I like to increase 3 bb, but depending on the situation I can go all in.
My chances are good and if my opponent has a pair of A's, I'll still have good chances.
It's a good pre-flop hand, so let's take some chips out of our opponents.
Watch out! Many people in this hand can be very dangerous to increase a lot.
Be wise always!
Good luck!

As usual it depends. How many active at the table? Betting style of others? bankroll? Early or late in the game? In the money, near the money or need the money to survive? All-in will deter most others. Others with AA, AK, AQ, QQ and even smaller pairs can be game. Best thing for me is my gut feeling based on all these conditions. Hopefully lady luck smiles and the KK pulls it off. Lots of things to consider. No easy answer.

there is no yes or no answer here. It all depends on if there is a raise to you, how much the raise is or isnt, what type of player made the raise, how many people called along with him, what are your table stakes, how is your image at the table. Now 90% of the time you should be raising but there is sometimes much more value in the checked option with these or even the flat of a raise pre.
