5 players left...4 get prize money

Seat 1: player1 (3795)
Seat 2: player2 (3170)
Seat 7: Hero (4955)
Seat 8: Villian (5830)
Seat 9: player5 (2250)

blinds 100/200
Hero KK in sb. all fold to me. i make it 525$ to go
Villian in bb goes all in.

He isn't the most pefect player but hasn't pushed like this all game.

i'm going to be honest. if you even need to think about this, you shouldn't be playing tournaments.

I instacall. You've made what looks like a positional steal, so villain could be using big stack and the bubble to bully you out of hands, and give himself walks in his future BBs.

Even if he has a legitimate hand, he pushes here with most hands that you have beaten - maybe he'd push with AA, but I could see a raise of maybe 3/4x your bet to lure you all in rather than scare you off the hand.

Guessing he had AA this time, but them's the breaks.

Call. You are in shitty relative position and a double up basically means a win, so don't even think about folding.

I was actually thinking about this for a couple of minutes, and the only situation I would think of folding would be if:
-4th place pays over $100K
-1st pays less than $300K
-opponents are very tight
or something of that sort. But in that case I'm just calling preflop, or folding if Villain always pushes in the BB.

Easy fold.. he's got AA, and if not, he'll suck out...
