After my last posts of hands have brought me very helpful analyses, I am looking forward to your opinion on this situation.

no HUD, no read - my typical ZOOM hour of the day with the question of the day:
Do we find a fold here?

PokerStars Zoom, Hold'em No Limit - $0.05/$0.10 - 6 players
Replay this hand on Upswing Poker

UTG: $22.31 (223 bb)
MP: $10.40 (104 bb)
CO: $6.15 (62 bb)
BU: $11.94 (119 bb)
SB: $6.04 (60 bb)
BB (Hero): $10.43 (104 bb)

Pre-Flop: ($0.15) Hero is BB with K♣ K♥
2 players fold, CO raises to $0.25, BTN calls $0.25, 1 fold, Hero 3-bets to $1.10, CO calls $0.85, BTN calls $0.85

Flop: ($3.35) 5♥ 2♠ 4♣ (3 players)
Hero bets $2.56, CO folds, BTN raises to $10.84 (all-in), Hero ???

You can go a bit smaller on the flop. The stack sizes are such that getting the money in by the river is not too much of a concern. Especially vs CO who is quite short. Of course we're never folding to a jam at such low SPR. He could be willing to stack here with so many worse hands. All those overpairs, big Ax. There's just no room to fold getting 2.5:1.

Only fold if you hate money or have the latest v1.9 crystal ball.

As I'm betting the flop, I'm thinking "Please shove on me (with TT/99 etc) so that I don't have to play some difficult turns and rivers". Snap-call.

Thank you very much for your answers. Of course I called, but I think I have to learn to think less result-oriented.
(So you can imagine what the outcome was...)

Yeah, a fold here would probably be too nitty and would most likely fall into the category "overfolding".

At this level, however, I often have the feeling that those 99/TT hands call this flop first or generelly call down depending on the runout and shove less.

Am i right or wrong with this assumption?

Yeah, a lot of players will just call with TT/99 (or lower pairs), but it's hard to get value from them on many runouts. It would obviously be a huge mistake to fold if they occasionally jam their overpairs though. You've got like 90% equity vs TT.
