OK final table of a okay online mtt where first typically pays $1800 ish. First hand of final table blinds are 600/1200 and you are in 3rd chip lead with 28,500.
Button who has around 8000 i beleive makes it 3600 to go, and the small blind one of only 2 people more chips then you moves all in over the top for 30,300 and you lookd down at KK.
He can conceivably have AA, you werent on his table short handed but its gotta be a call right? Simply cos he knows the button is short hes in position and prolly a little desperate.
So, basically how much % of time do you make this call?

If your playing for first place , All other things aside , i think you make the call every time.

Call, Chances are the big stack is just moving over the top to isolate the shortstack and get heads up, hes making this move so other hands like AQ, AJ, etc don't come in for a gamble. By making this move hes basically making it so only monster hands can come into this pot, if you hold KK I'd say its a call, and if you had QQ I'd think of folding.
So what happend? I mean if you called with KK your probably up against at least 1 Ace.

I had a similar predicament. In a MTT reduced to about a third of the field, just below average stack but nothing to worry about, get KK under the gun.
I raise to three times the BB, one call and the button goes all-in, for more than I've got.
Is there a case for folding? I know I've got the best hand, and there's a chance the other two players have aces that cancel each other out, but if I'm looking at A-x and a lower pair (which I was) my odds are not much better than a coin-flip to win. (57%)
As it happens I called, and an Ace came on the turn to finish me off.

Yeah , the small blind turned over Aces and that was me out.
