NL10 - Akward spot with KK

Blinds: $0.05/$0.10 (5 Players) SB: $10.72
BB: $19.36 (Hero)
UTG: $18.67
CO: $3.60
BN: $10.09

SB is reg playing: VPIP: 22, PFR: 18, 3B: 6, AF: 1,5, Hands: 372
CO is fish playing : VPIP: 50, PFR: 6, 3B: 9, AF: 3,1, Hands: 119

Preflop ($0.15) Hero is BB with K K

UTG folds, CO calls $0.10, BN folds, SB raises to $0.40, Hero calls $0.30, CO calls $0.30

Flatting to keep fish in pot, okay?

Flop ($1.20) T 6 4

SB bets $0.90, Hero calls $0.90, CO raises to $3.20 and is all in, SB calls $2.30, Hero

When the reg just calls the raise it worries me. He could have all sets. Would he also do this with JJ, QQ or A10 ? He leaves 7$ behind and the pot is up to 8.50 now

Even if CO has a set, you can most likely get it all in against the SB who likely isn't stronger than KK in this situation. Could easily have something like A10, K10, JJ, QQ. A lot of hands that you dominate so even if you lose the main you still profit in the side pot. I would also 3 bet pre so that you can isolate against the SB

Ya u want to keep the fish in the pot but not with KK.
KK is a hand that wants to play heads up because it loses a lot of value multiway.
Same with AA.

JJ however I would have flat in this situation pre, because the value I lose flatting JJ is lower than the value the fish gives me.

CO is a fish so he has a WAY wider range than just sets and 2 pairs. I am happily stacking off there and singing a happy song or something and rubbing my hands pretty hard there.

Preflop is fine, its great that you think like this, but I still prefer just 3b at nl10. Fish is gonna coldcall plenty and sb is gonna make a lot of mistakes too.
i'd shove flop
