Default KK facing huge overbet (Party 11)

The opponent has only played one hand so far the entire tourney. Last level, he raised to $150 from middle position with AK-suited, and hit his flush.

The table had been playing pretty tight. I didn't know what to make of the open-push. I'm just getting started playing online SNG's (been playing mostly live cash games).

Am I supposed to call here? I couldn't figure out why he would make this move with anything less than AA, except maybe KK.

I'd probably call partly out of curiosity, partly because I'm never that confident someone has aces, especially not on one action. Caro's law of loose wiring is applicable here... [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

I don't think there is any situation extreme enough in a Party 10 + 1 to justify folding AA KK OR QQ for that matter PF.

Given the description of the player, and given the stacks and the action, what do you think is his range of hands here? How big a favorite do you believe KK to be?

Tightest player( me for instance) QQ+
Average player: JJ+, AK
Looosest player: I want u to sleep at night, sry.
If I had to make a guess I would say AK is his hand

What does it matter how much of a favorite you are. I can't shovel my chips in any faster w/ KK at an $11.
