    You should push instead of min reraising. Minreraising just screams strength.
    Whether you call or reraise that flop you give him the same info about your hand - that you like it alot. I don't think you gain any value in bluffing equity by flat calling since he will shut down with most bluffs. Just push it in and hope he has a 9 or a pair he can't let go.

    Be careful Ping. Both this min 3bet and your KK raise to 3bb after a limp makes me believe you may be underbetting your strong hands to look for action a little too much.

    I go into the tank, call and insta-check to him on the turn. Hopefully he'll have another go at it. Depending on the villain I think there is a small edge in calling as he will dump any bluff to your shove but may fire it again on the turn. Some people (namely me) can get very frisky at times.
    For Free Money, Rakeback and some 6x Ongame bonuses, I recommend PokerSource.

    I recommend Cardrunners for superb poker coaching. It was honestly the single biggest improvement in my game signing up there! Sign-up fee might seem steep, but it pays itself back within weeks.

    ya i probably just call his raise here. if you're going to 3bet though, it needs to be a shove.
