Huge pot odds call against aggressive big stack

Do you bother making this call? I flopped the worst possible board, I didn't want to put more chips in the pot when I didn't think the big stack would let me see a cheap showdown.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (8 handed) converter

SB (t3850)
Hero (t1745)
UTG (t1815)
UTG+1 (t3445)
MP1 (t665)
MP2 (t3050)
CO (t2740)
Button (t4900)

Preflop: Hero is BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
2 folds, MP1 calls t100, 2 folds, Button calls t100, SB completes, Hero raises to t500, MP1 calls t400, Button calls t400, SB folds.

Flop: (t1600) 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (3 players)
Hero checks, MP1 bets t165 (All-In), Button calls t165,

Dur... you r a good player from what I hear... you got to go by your gut.

And bail

I'd call. I don't have a read on the player but its hard to bet a dry pot when hero has shown PF strength. I think his range is much wider than yours here because of position. I'd call and see.

I'd just save myself the headache and push preflop.

i like a push pre-flop. i think you should call the flop. you have 3 outs to a pretty strong hand, and 4 more to a moderately strong hand that can win a showdown.

I get the jackass of the month award for folding this.

Small stack has K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] J
Big stack has K7d

I would have won unimproved. Meh.
