Default Low buyin tourny on the bubble

Two players to go to pop the bubble. Hero has K4o in the BB. 4 limpers to Hero who checks.

Flop comes K54 rainbow. Hero has about 11BB and bets out 2.5BB. UTG (20BB or so) instantly goes all-in. Hero has seen many questionable plays at this table - but while hero has seen lots of limping from UTG, he has not seen her do anything completely retarded postflop.

Action folds back to hero. Does hero call or fold?

I think Hero should call. In a low buy-in tournament, players will overvalue hands like KQ, AK and KJ. If the UTG limper had KK, he or she would be more likely to slow play, rather than move all in. Same with a set of 5's or 4's. Since he or she obviously didn't limp in with K5, Hero's K4 should be the best hand. I would put the all in bettor on AK or KQ suited.

No way I'm laying this down... I expect to see KQ or KJ or something like that way more often than a hand that beats you at the moment. I'll call this and win more often than not
