He calls with KK and holds.
This is a fold pre(not what I would do) or a smooth call knowing you need to improve/flop well.
this hand can be played differently with different SPR's but with no other information other than what was posted above($34-$150), I definitely smooth call that spot hoping to improve post flop.
If you had some history where you could justify getting it in for $150 before the flop, then I might understand... but even showing a bluff of 7/2 previously is still smooth call in my opinion because if he is doing something similar again(highly doubtful), he can't really proceed post flop with that hand once he's actually called by hero pre flop.
the tricky part comes post flop when the board is 7
5
2
and you check it out to induce a bet and he barrels that wet'ish board for $120.
