Default K High-- RR&Call shove?

Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (5 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

SB ($36.45)
BB ($8.65)
UTG ($77.45)
MP ($10)
Hero ($54.15)

Preflop: Hero is Button with K, T.
1 fold</font>, MP checks,Hero raises to $1.1</font>,2 folds</font>, MP calls $0.85.

Flop: ($2.55) 4, 2, 5 (2 players)</font>
MP bets $2.55, Hero raises to $5.5, MP raises to $11.45 (All-In), Hero calls $3.40.

Turn: ($22.90) 9 2 players, 1 all-in)

River: ($22.90) 4 (2 players, 1 all-in)

Final Pot: $22.90

Now I almost always give players credit at this level, but he posted his blind OOP and I gave him zero credit
I was pretty sure he had some dumb draw, and didnt think he would have the ace. I went off my read here exclusively, what do you think? (results below)
<font color="white"> Villian mucked [6s Td] and lost with a pair of Fours
Seat 6: Hero (button) showed [Kh Tc] and won ($19.35) with a pair of Fours </font>

FWIW, I like it. It's uber risky, but sexy. It makes sense that villain would have a draw be it multi or not. Still, gutsy and you're welcoming in variance for a stay, but I think it has merit.

That said, I wouldn't try this too often [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I fold this flop. Yea sometimes villain will go nuts on a flop that didn't look like it hit you (esp. the short stacks), but it is rare that he will 3BAI with air. I think you lucked out that he didn't have a pair or an ace. I wouldn't make these type of calls a habit at 25NL. If you are going to call with a high card, at least have a decent ace, preferably with some sort of draw to go along with it. You can go broke in a hurry making these kind of calls.

Also, if you put him on air, why not raise all-in if you are going to have to call the rest of his stack anyway?

I don't get it.
The only reason to play like this against a short stack is to create a decent reckless image, which is a complete waste of times in this levels. Sure one or two players will notice and look you up more often. But hello!! they already do any ways.

Yeah I wouldn't do this often at all, (By the way, hi felix [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
and looking back he only had $3.40 so I should have just shoved on him, but my raise was committing enough.

Afterwards the entire table was talking about the play so I got no respect, and got to stack someone with AK on a K high flop vs a pair of threes who gave me zero credit.
