Default First Hand Theoretical Question

First hand of a 1 (or 2, I dont think it changes things) table sit n go. UTG goes all, folded to you in the BB w/ AA. While you think, UTG turns over his cards, showing you KK.

Do you call?

At what buy in does it swing from a call to a fold? (For example, doubling up on the first hand of a $5 sit n go is far less helpful than on the first hand of a $500 one.)

I'd call every time, always no exceptions.

You couldn't ask for a better situation in the first hand.

If you can't make this call, you're playing at too high a limit.

Why does UTG showing me KK make any difference ? I know I'm a big favourite, he doesn't need to show me.

I made the mistake of thinking like that once, so I'll be nice and reply in a serious fashion:

It swings to a fold when UTG all ins, all 8 people call and you're in the BB with aces and a guaranteed second place. (Just barely, mind you. If only six people call you are pushing and it's not that close.)
