Short stack has been shoving like every other hand, and I was waiting patiently to get my money in against him. I finally get dealt KK, and now have someone else who's only been at the table for three hands. The board is pretty scary. What should I do?

EDIT: guess it's not obvious that the short stacker is in the BB.

BTN: $5.94
SB: $5.10
BB: $4.62
UTG: $5.56
Hero (CO): $5.00

Pre Flop: ($0.07) Hero is CO with K K
1 fold, Hero raises to $0.15, BTN calls $0.15, 1 fold, BB calls $0.10

Flop: ($0.47) 7 8 6 (3 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $0.35, BTN raises to $0.70 BB bets 4.47 and is all in.

Here are my thoughts... 4,5,9, and Ts are certainly in the BBs range. It seems unlikely that BTN has been observing the game for a while before he joined, and knows the tendencies of the BB, and therefore he has a set or possibly OESD. I should probably fold.

Did BB fold? Also there are no shortstackers at that table

Sorry I edited, BB shoved.

His stack isn't short in this hand, but he buys in for $2 and shoves just about every other hand.

vs. a weak minraise and a shortie that shoves almost every hand I'd shove off here. The only thing to be worried about is the button, but that could be anything with that minraise - my guess is prob. a weaker overpair, 99-QQ, or an OESD - if he has AA or a set then well played sir knight.
