    I'd prob flat and hope A shoves

    If you raise either just shove yourself or minraise it

    I dont mind a flat, although i probably raise to around £3.20 mostly at NL10. Plenty of action to be had by worse hands at this level by plenty of players. 

    Dont mind anything about the way you played it to be fair with that action.

    Playing against the type of players you've described I do what ever I feel like at the time.

    Either a smaller 3bet knowing they will shove most of the time. Shove knowing they will call most of the time or a flat call knowing they will shove most of the time.

    I think you where right to 3-bet, like a shove here aswell depending on stacks, in cash sitting with QQ to AA your looking to get it in pre imo.
    Flatting your still strong but putting your KK at risk by taking a flop 3-ways and your out of position.

    How did the hand pan out???

    THEY FOLDED, AND TO BE HONEST I WAS HAPPY TO TAKE IT THERE AND THEN, RATHER THAN BEING DONE BY SAY 4 9 OFF, AS THEY WERE BOTH AGGRO.

    EDIT, STILL HAVE A NAGGING FEELING I SHOULD HAVE PLAYED DIFFERANT BUT HAY-HO IT`S DONE NOW SO ONTO NEXT GAME, ALTHOUGH IF ANY OTHER POST WRITEN WILL TAKE INTO ACCOUNT TO IMPROVE MY OWN GAME

    Why on earth would you want loose aggros to fold pre when you hold KK, if you ain't willing to risk a buy in against this type of player with monsters you should prob give up cash poker.

    The reason to 4 bet KK is not because we are scared of bad beats.

    You should 4 bet if 3 bet is TAG

     

    You don’t have to 4 bet KK

    This is a bit of a worrying statement if you are going to play cash more regularly sporny. You have KK in the hole and your happy to take it there and then, you should be wanting as much action as possible. The line you took in this hand is absolutely fine, especially against aggro players as you mentioned. I only 4-bet slightly less because i want them to come along. Calling is fine too, to trap and keep them in the hand, let them hit a queen on the flop and take monies that way.
