Should I be up for action?

Stars $3 MTT. I have 1,412 chips. Got involved in a chopped pot with AK when we both had a straight. Have been playing tight, seeing a lot of bad cards. 2nd position. Pick up the 'double rulers' KK. Blinds are at 15/30. I raise to 120. Pretty standard. Short stack who was just moved to my table goes all in for 235. Another player who was just moved to my table calls the 235 and has 3,000 behind. It's back to me. What do I do? I decided to push all in. Is that a stupid move? I didn't want him getting a look at a flop with a cheap ace. Is that a smart decision or should I make it 500?

reraising is a bad idea because you cant defend the flop if he gets silly and calls.

i guess you could flat call hoping hes playing a smaller pair, but then not only have you given him a free flop, youre playing a big pot with KK and youre OOP. ive had worse but i think you should always go ahead and push here.

Any meaningful raise is going to commit you so I'd just go ahead and push here. If he calls that's fine your a big favorite over every hand but aces.

Yep I am pushing here aswell.

I will see you at the final table Gators [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I would give him incorrect odds to call with an ace. That gives him the chance to make a mistake. All in gives him an easier decision
