Default NL 25: facing small push-- call or fold?

I am probably behind, but do I have a big enough piece of it to call? How often is the villain bluffing?

Full Tilt Poker
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.05/$0.10
9 players
Converter

Pre-flop: (9 players) Hero is MP2 with K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
UTG folds, UTG+1 calls, MP1 folds, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $0.4</font>, 2 folds, Button calls, SB folds, BB calls, UTG+1 calls.

Flop: A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] ($1.65, 4 players)
BB checks, UTG+1 checks, <font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $1.3</font>, Button folds, BB calls, UTG+1 folds.

Turn: T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] ($4.25, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">BB is all-in $2.8</font>, Hero ????

Call. Say your diamond outs are good, as are K's and J's, but Q's aren't. Then you have 14 outs, and there are 46 cards left. That's 2.3:1 odds, and you're getting 2.5:1 on your money.

It's possible your K's aren't outs and the J's push (you're against QJ), but then it's also possible that your Q's are good or he has a draw too. All in all, I think you've got to call.

I'm not sure what mentality decides to sit down with $5 at a $25nl game, but the same mentality tends to push with 2nd and 3rd pair a lot. Call.

This is NL 10. I wouldn't bet this flop but I call the turn. Against a shortstack you may even have the best hand here sometimes but most of the time he'll have Ax and you have enough outs against that. I think the straight is only a small part of his range here.
