While I would like thoughts on this hand in particular, I'm also wondering how people react to this type of play in general. I feel like I'm running into this more and more in the 2.25 1 table SnGs and 3.30 KO Tournaments I play in. This is without a read on the villain

Full Tilt Poker $3 + $0.30 KO No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t25/t50 Blinds - 9 players
The Official 2+2 Hand Converter Powered By DeucesCracked.com

BTN: t2245 M = 29.93
SB: t4710 M = 62.80
BB: t3555 M = 47.40
UTG: t3235 M = 43.13
UTG+1: t6000 M = 80
UTG+2: t2520 M = 33.60
MP1: t2350 M = 31.33
Hero (MP2): t3505 M = 46.73
CO: t1600 M = 21.33

Pre Flop: (t75) Hero is MP2 with K

3 folds, MP1 raises to t100, Hero raises to t350, 4 folds, MP1 calls t250

Flop: (t775) 3

(2 players)
MP1 bets t2000 all in, Hero ???

Snap call, every once in a while he might have an ace but you're usually way way ahead.

Easy call. You'll rarely see Ax or 33 here.

I usually call these. People usually trap check when they ahve the ace but sometimes they do this with the ace because it looks liek they dont have it.

I just have trouble with this type of spot in general. I raise and get an OOP caller with maybe a little bit more than the pot left in his stack and then he just shoves the pot. It seems lately that I call, find out I'm behind, and then when this spot comes up again I fold and the villain shows complete air, but no matter what I'm always making the wrong decision. I was curious to see what everyone's thought process in situation in general is (obviously my hand and the flop change the decision somewhat).

in this spot villain tabled A5 but I spiked a king on the turn to take it down

Maybe make your preflop raise a little more as you are concerned about gusy in these SSMTT calling along with A rag. Make him pay more for that privelage.

As played yes as its AAx on flop less likely he has an A. If it was Axx flop then yes I fold here
