I would push, thinking that he would slowplay a Q if he had one.

He has a flush draw and an over most of the time, or he has jacks or tens and is thinking that only a queen has him beat, push here... and raise a little more preflop

Everyone plays a little more weak tight after just moving up.

Thing is, that bet doesn't seem to want a call. Unless the pusher has reason to believe that you will think he's bluffing, he wants you to read his bet for strength. Disappoint him.

I think I would usually autocall this as well, but it was just a weird situation being my first hand at a new level that I have no experience with at all.

After looking at this, it seems like a pretty clear call.

I call, and the pusher isn't necessarily the guy I'm most worried about.

30+3=20+2 for all practical purposes. I know some people have been theorizing that the 33's are somehow exceptionally more difficult; however, that has not been my experience in terms of either results or what gets turned over... Either level, KK is still good and busting out with the over-pair happens I guess.
