I have no read on this player, I just found the all-in bet strange. I call these types of all-ins often, as I think the player wouldn’t play a set this way, but would play a draw in this manner. I assume he went all-in on the turn as he felt the K might be a scare card for me.

Am I going to get into trouble in the higher limits if I call these types of bets? (Not an auto call, I analyze the situation before I make these types of calls.)
