    I haven't played in a long time, just got back into it. I find myself late in a $4.40 - 180 man with 14 left.

    I think I made a mistake here. I put 6tony6 on a hand like AJ+, TT+. So then I just moved all in. Honestly I am not being results oriented here, I am thinking now that I should have just flat called for a few reasons.

    1). Shoving is too much.
    2). To disquise my hand and give me a chance to get away if an ace comes.
    3). Why give him 5 cards if he does have a hand like AK, AQ, AJ? I really want to give him as few cards as possible right?

    Is the above ^^^^ thinking right? or what is the best line to take here? How bad did I play this KK hand?

    All advice from any players welcome and thank you. I just want to make sure next time I am in this situation I make the correct decisions.

    if you can get all your chips in preflop with KK and get someone to call you with an inferior hand what more could you really ask for?

    never flat call in this spot, shove is fine imo
