Re: Too weak?
First off, you need to mix up your bets - pushing is always an option. Two more things:
1. your chances of running into a monster are very small
2. KTo is a fairly weak hand, and pushing will likely cause BB to fold many hands that would beat you, like many PP, weak aces, maybe even KQ, etc.
To expand more on the second point, you push not because you have a strong hand, but because you don't. You can't stand up to a reraise, and if BB calls your 3x raise you will be out of position, probably miss the flop and have to check and fold anyway. So why bother?
The only alternative is the 2x minraise - IF you think BB is passive enough to let go his weaker hands and not make a play. Why risk more chips if 2x will get it done? If BB reraises you know you are beat and can get away, and if he calls you still have the post flop problem noted above, but for less cost.
