Default Final Table KQ, facing a possible steal raise?

Down to the Final 10 out of a field of almost 450.

Hero is the big stack with about 410,000 chips. Average stack is 170,000,


Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, blinds are 6,000/12,000 (10 handed)

MP1 (t59560)
MP2 (t293982)
Hero (t414483)
CO (t123782)
Button (t85100)
SB (t72386)
BB (t133653)
UTG (t50153)
UTG+1 (t88274)
UTG+2 (t97627)

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
2 folds</font>, UTG+2 calls t12000,2 folds</font>, <font color="red"> Hero raises to t30000 </font> </font>, 3 folds</font>, <font color="red">BB raises all-in for 133,653 total </font> , UTG+2 folds, Hero?

UTG+2 had been very loose, he was making very large raises preflop (4xbb) and had gotten caught several times.

BB has re-raised all-in 2 or 3 times from the BB and SB now in the past hour. This might be a steal raise

I had been stealing a fair amount of blinds

I am thinking about calling this but I have a great position as the chip leader and I don't want to blow it on a marginal hand.

First off if you are going to raise after a limper make it at least 40k you are raising about 2.5BB after a limper horrible.
if you didn't make such a small raise the resteal would be an instcall getting like 3 to 1.
