Default Basic sng question

Forgive me if this has been asked and answered a thousand times. This situation ties me up in knots every time it happens and maybe it's as simple as pushing the fold button but I got to ask.

Situation: One table $30 sng, blinds 25/50, MP1 who is big stack with 3500 limps, I'm MP2(1350 chips) with KK and I make 200 to go. Everyone fold and MP2 calls.

Pot: 475

Flop: A94 rainbow

MP2 leads with 250 bet

Damn, I hate giving this guy the pot if he has 66 or 77. In this particular hand, I put the guy on a small pair or a raggedy ace. I thought if he had a rag Ace I could make him fold to an all-in raise. He insta called me with A7.

So, in the future, just fold and move on to next hand? Call, see what he does on the turn and fold to another bet? What? Sorry for such a basic one, but this one always [censored] me up.

i would fold on the flop. when you think someone has the ace, they usually have the ace

This is where you went wrong. At the low level buy-ins, a person who calls a healthy raise preflop with A7 is not the kind of person to fold on an A high flop.

I wouldn't give a big stack credit for the ability to fold a rag ace here, and I doubt he would think far enough ahead to bet 77 here. I'd just cry and then fold.

I fold with an overcard and a bet in front of me.

Eh, you gotta learn to fold KK here at lower limits when an ace flops.
