Default 10+1 HH, what would you do?

10+1, blinds are at 50/100. Table has turned a bit tight, Ive just had 2 bad beats with micro-stacks thus showing my rasing hands.

***** Hand History for Game 2508861355 *****

Seat 8 is the button

Seat 2: mia2323 (2225)
Seat 5: HERO (1100)
Seat 8: MikeDDDDDDDD (1650)
Seat 9: jaws47 (1410)
Seat 10: DannyBen33 (1615)
jaws47 posts small blind (50)
DannyBen33 posts big blind (100)

** Dealing down cards **
Dealt to HERO [ Kc, Th ]
mia2323 folds.
HERO raises (400) to 400
MikeDDDDDDDD folds.
jaws47 raises (1360) to 1410
jaws47 is all-In.
DannyBen33 folds.

HERO??

Just raised with JTs and ATs a couple hands before which were shown down. jaws47 has been a bit tight of late but his stack has been shaved down by the blinds. I think he has a hand but I am highly guessing mid-high PP 77-QQ or AJ,AQ. I semi-discount KK and AK since I have a K, as well as the AA. I roughly estimate Im about 2:1 dog and Im getting over 2:1 on my call.

Question is, would you think you are > 2:1 dog in this spot? Would you have pushed pre-flop? Would you have raised less pre-flop so you could have an exit, maybe to 250?

Depends on what you showed the previous two hands. If they were anything less than stellar, you're losing folding equity, and people are much more likely to call you. Then I might advise you to just fold. If you were showing down premium hands, I would have raised to about 300, with enough to make a good decision without becoming too pot committed.

Hero stops trying to steal blinds with 11bb, and then doesn't get into this situation.

basically what he said. you gots 11 bb's, wait a little and use position. KTo sucks UTG+1 in this spot.

No. You're just using M as an excuse for a poor play. You might as well have said 'My star sign is Aries' or something. Firstly, you have 11bb. This isn't the time to be raising for almost half of it with a crappy hand like KTo. If you want to steal with this, ok (I wouldn't personally), you definitely should not raise that. Either 2.5bb or all-in. Secondly your table image is awful. Thirdly you have plenty of wiggle room with 11bb. Frankly I see quite a few people using this M thing as an excuse for a poor play and this is one of them.
