Default Deep stack, KK against loose pf caller

I was below average in chips by about 5k. The limper was a very loose player that would call lots of raises after limping. In hindsight I should have raised 4BB but I believe he would have called anyway so maybe that is a moot point.

I lead out for pot on flush draw board to clear out. He reraises. I am thinking that he has a pair or flush draw. The pot is 7900 after his raise. I am getting almost 4 to 1 to call.

If a I call I have 3900 left for future streets, which I would have bet and if reraised I would be totally committed to pot and have to call, unless flush card came on turn then I might shut it down a little. If I call reraise on flop I have half my chips in the pot against a loose player.

If he has 2 pair then I am in trouble, but I still have 2 cards to come and once turn comes I would have even more outs as pairing the turn or other flop card would give me higher two pair.

Is this a hand that we pretty much have to push the reraise on the flop and hope to see KJ, T9, JT, QT, KT, A9, AJ? Can we ever seriously think about laying this down to the reraise? I am thinking no.

I would appreciate your thoughts. Raise more preflop and ?

You really shouldn't worry about your Q (position vis-a-vis the average) in these Deepstack tournaments, you have a lot of play in your 40+ BB stack.
