Default Fold KK Preflop?

Stars $100+9NL Tourney, blinds 100/200, less than 1/3rd of the field remaining. My stack is In EP I pick up Kings. Folded to me, and I raise to 525. Folded around to SB (~8K), who raises to ~1300. SB is very solid and also aggressive (Bel0wab0ve for those of you that play Stars). I have about 2600 behind if I call here. What's my play?

2 lines here and 1 is certainly not to fold.

#1 call and let him bet into you on what is hopefully a flop of rage so you then can reraise all in.

#2 Push now if I'm relatively sure he'll call.

If he has AA's that sucks for for me but I'm not folding here.

best guess. You lost. But you were right on the push.

Query: Did he have AK and rivered or turned it? This is my most frustrating loss in a tourney, but you did the right thing.

genius, im sure thru a friend....you have already heard my analysis of the hand. No ace hit the flop, so it is not like that could have saved you if you smooth called my reraise. That is main thing i hate when my KK runs into AA, when A flop, i always tell myself....why so hard, i could have gotten away from KK on flop. You want to talk more bout this, get my msn from our mutual friend. Peace.

Can you give some reasoning for not pushing?
