Default KK-too tight?

I've been thinking about this hand and would like opinions. I don't have the hand history, so this is from memory (sorry for the ugly formatting):

I am in MP with Ks Kc

UTG raises
UTG + 1 calls
Fold
Fold
I reraise
Fold
Cold call
Cold call
SB folds
BB calls
EP and EP + 1 both call

6 players see a flop of: Ah Qd 8h
The pot has 19 small bets.

UTG bets
UTG + 1 calls

Do I call here?

I folded with the following reasoning:

No specific reads yet at this table, but I see many players at this level cold call raises with any ace.

There is a good chance I have two outs (at best).

If someone has the flush draw or an ace, I could be trapped for lots of bets.

No backdoor flush draw for me.

It seemed clear at the time but...weak-tight?

Thanks!

Getting 21:1 (not closing the action), you're almost getting odds to turn your set of K's, let alone your runner-runner broadway draw. Your K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] isn't completely clean, but I'd call here.

You're almost certainly behind on the flop in a 6-way pot.

If your call closed the action, you could make a case for calling (with perhaps one clean K out and a backdoor straight draw). However, given your position, you might be faced with multiple bets by the time it gets back to you.

I would fold.

Disregard my previous post. I didn't realize the pot was so big. Calling seems fine.

Thanks for everyones thoughts. Good point about closing the action. If I had been closing the action, I probably would have called.
