Was unsure what the correct play was in this situation.
Been at the table for a short while. My only read on EP is that he seems better than the average Party player, but still will call with stuff like KTo, 78s, etc. from any position. He and two others at the table think I am a LAG and have been chatting about it.
Party $.50/1 10 handed.
I am dealt K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] in late MP.
2 folds, EP calls, 2 folds,

2 to the turn for 5.25 BBs.
Turn is 7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
EP bets, I ....???
I figure there's two possible plays here. Either I fold now and give him credit for an Ace or something that beats me. Or I call down turn and river.
How would you play it from here?
Edit
The turn card was 7 not 3)

Are you a LAG? I assume you got a bunch of good hands early in the session and were rasing a lot preflop. This happens to me all the time and I worry about my table image. No one has ever said anything except, "what's with all the raising?" or some such weak minded nonsense.
If they were talking about you being LAG what did you say? What did you think their likely strategy to beat a LAG would be? I would supsect they would check call if they had a good hand knowing you're going to raise with anything. Them betting makes me they might be bluffing and trying to push you back. Therefore since you are "the lag" you can't really have any idea what the other guy has.
You need to flip a coin between call down and folding the turn. I call down because the pots big enough to spend 2BB to find out if MHIG.
