Villain is 11/9 over 175 hands with 17% steal from SB and snap shoved.

Poker Stars $6.00+$0.50 No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t10/t20 Blinds - 9 players
The Official 2+2 Hand Converter Powered By DeucesCracked.com

UTG+1: t1590 M = 53
UTG+2: t1520 M = 50.67
MP1: t1410 M = 47
MP2: t1550 M = 51.67
CO: t1410 M = 47
BTN: t1430 M = 47.67
SB: t1590 M = 53
Hero (BB): t1500 M = 50
UTG: t1500 M = 50

Pre Flop: (t30) Hero is BB with K

7 folds, SB raises to t140, Hero raises to t440, SB raises to t1590 all in, Hero ?

Yeah never 3bet/fold here.

Also blind vs blind never fold an ace and king.

call, you're rarely worse than a race here and ahead a lot of the time. If not, it's a 6.50 and another will fill up in ten seconds

To echo everyone else's posts, even if villain's range was as tight as QQ+, AK, calling is still correct. (Hero has to pay 1,160 to win 1,940, or 1.83:1 and 35.3% equity required for a break-even cEV call. AKo vs. QQ+, AK has 38.8% equity.)
