Default Top pair against potential villain stop and go?

100ish players left, 60 get paid. Just moved to the table, so no reads.

Blinds: 150/300
Hero: 4040
SB: 6650
BB: 3300

Hero is dealt K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
6 folds. Hero raises to 900. SB calls. BB folds.

Flop: K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

SB raises all-in 5750. Hero....???????

Is there any reason for me not to insta-call here?

(excuse the manual conversion, but the tournament was on Titan and I don't feel like waiting for them to e-mail me a convertable hand history)

I'd call in a heartbeat. I think this is a Q or something like JT at least as often as a K.

(anyone who would think about complaining because you took the time to manually convert your hand needs to kill themselves)

I like how the "10 BB rule" often becomes the "13..14..15.. ah why not 20 BB rule" on here.

i don't like a push here. however, i'm willing to be swayed, so can someone who thinks otherwise hit me with some pro-push math?

No math here, but just know when you raise to 900 and the SB calls, there is 2100 in the pot and 3100 in your stack. This is an awkward spot and a standard cbet of like 1200 will leave you with 1900, if SB pushes you're very close to pot-stuck.

p.s. call flop

This is either fold/push preflop btw. Especially since BB should have a huge reraising range and unless you are happy calling basically all-in with K5...
