Live $2-5 NL, 5bet or flat with KK?
Hero- effective stack with $825.
Villain - $900. One of the best regs around. TAG who rarely makes mistakes and also plays 5/10.
Villain2- $900. Tight/nitty and predictable. Always tries to slow play his big hands and misses value often.
Villain UTG opens to $20
Hero UTG+2 3bets to $65 with KK
Villain 2 next to act flats the $65.
UTG 4bets to $225
Hero?
Facing a 4bet here with a player behind me I felt like it's time to 5bet. If it were heads up, or very likely to go heads up, I would most certainly be flatting with all of my continuing range. Thoughts? Also, if 5bet is ideal, is it a jam or can we go something like $400 to keep the action open?
Thanks

It's not a good spot to call with any hands and 5bet size should just be all-in (exactly AA can min 5bet). I'm not playing these live games and full ring so I'm not sure what hands to 5bet but something like AA, KK and AKs looks reasonable and then you have AKo and QQ that is never going to be great but can be slightly+EV.
UTG's range is pretty much AKs,QQ+ and some AKo I'm assuming. With ranges so narrow here I think I'm just jamming everything I continue with. He will likely fold a decent amount of the time but winning 59bb's pre is still awesome.
jam always
What is your plan? Is this your actual limit you play? I myself play 2-2 NL with max 400 buy in, and I think that is a lot of money. You know you gotta shove this preflop if you are comfertable at this level.
Are you affraid UTG might fold, do you want to keep villain 2 in the hand.On what kinda range would you put them and what do you think they put you on?
From the info given UTG looks very strong but is it AA? you can't fold KK here and I think the other player must make his mistake by calling your all-inn. Offcourse you take your time and then shove.
