Default $27- Short-stack with KK on bubble- All-in and called in front

UTG shove is from a regular, likely shoving most hands, no reads on big stack. With the short-stack being covered and called, what's my play? Assuming you call KK in this spot, do you fold QQ? AKs?

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t400 with t25 antes (4 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

CO (t1800)
Button (t5620)
Hero (t1405)
BB (t4675)

Preflop: Hero is in SB with K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
<font color="red">CO raises to t1775 (All-in)</font>, Button calls t1775

Often times bad players call with huge hands here...readless, I'd fold JJ, AK. If CO reshoves, it almost makes me more likely to call with AKs.

I agree with folding AK. I did call with the KK, and would call with QQ as well, but mucking JJ and AK. Thanks for the replies.

i'm in the QQ+ camp.

AK is a really overrated bubble calling hand in a lot of situations. i dont feel like running sngwiz right now but i would imagine calling with AK would be awful in this spot.

Wiz says that even if CO pushed ATC and button called ATC, it's a terrible call.

Would you mind posting results? Maybe QQ and AK too just to compare.

just re-read your post. how can you put buttons calling range on ATC? Think you need to tighten him up a bit to get more accurate numbers.
