$11 NLHE Turbo Zoom, Full Ring

Do we roll with our Kings or can we let it go because it's not likely we are ahead of Villain's raising range on a dry flop like this?

I didn't notice we are 20 places from the money. In which way does this influence your decision?

Also, does his call with a junk hand like this make sense because of pot odds/implied odds/antes or is it spew?

Pre is spew on his part, especially vs a 2.5x. 49o is way too weak of a hand to defend and plays terribly postflop. Flop seems fine, you can also call and let him shove turns with his bluffs.

try smaller sizing pre and flop

663 pre and 600 flop, I wouldn't fold to the flop raise

Smaller sizing pre for what? It's not hero's job to minimise opponents mistakes. If it's the kind of table where folk/the bb are flatting 94o then let them do so at greater cost.

ye 2.5x is competly fine. i would go a lil bit smaller otf but im okay with 800. i call flop and call most turns beside 9 pbb, also if he x raises with J7dd or smt like that we reaaally dont want to fold out that hand with a raise otf, so keeping a few more probable bluffs in his range ott is pretty mandatory imo
