Default PS 6.50- KK on a semi-scary flop

This flop + the action, makes me concerned about a set. In a SNG can I really fold this overpair here?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

MP1 (t1500)
MP2 (t1490)
MP3 (t1430)
CO (t1530)
Button (t1450)
Hero (t1510)
BB (t1500)
UTG (t1460)
UTG+1 (t1630)

Preflop: Hero is SB with K, K.
UTG calls t20, 1 fold</font>, MP1 calls t20, 1 fold</font>, MP3 calls t20, 2 folds</font>, Hero raises to t120</font>, 1 fold</font>, UTG calls t100, MP1 calls t100, MP3 calls t100.

Flop: (t500) 6, 5, 7 (4 players)</font>
Hero bets t300</font>, UTG folds, MP1 calls t300, MP3 raises to t700

Although I like to think people at the $6.50 level are idiots, with this action I fold and hope to find a better spot. It's still the 1st level and you have 1100 chips left.

I really had trouble putting the villains on a range here. I mean anything from 55 66 77, to 99 or A7, or a flush draw.
Does KK beat enough of that range to 3 bet all in?

This is a really easy shove in a 6.5. What about 99,88, maybe TT, lots of other draws. Shove.

can i raise the question that someone limp called with suited connectors like 89 everyone seems to over look that....IMO it would either be a hand like that or a set especially with the mini raise. i think we could rule the MP! is most likely on a draw and is possible to call a 3 bet all in. i think i fold and fin a better spot because the board is too coordinated...or im just a nit one of the two lol

I think the pfr was too small, 89 couldnt get in, if it would be bigger.pockets are always getting in w 3xBB, and w 3 callers, u could already be beat w a combodraw. I would shove here anyways [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

What do you put mp1/mp3 on that you are willing to get the rest of your chips in with? 45, 78, fd, 88-TT? I'm bad with math, but if they both call your push, I dont like putting your remaining 1100 in here. There are so few hands you are ahead of, and many times you just got wrecked by 2pr, strait, set. I think i fold.. im so tight early [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I would like to know if its a +ev push if you KNEW one had 88, and one had a flush draw though ( and were calling). Can anyone do that? I need to how learn to do that analysis... just for my own curiosity.

Yeah it's almost like the scariness of it might actually be a good thing, since this could very well be a case of everyone trying to scare each other [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]. Like Gator said you'll see overpairs worse than KK and flush and str8 draws a lot here (and of course you'll see sets and made str8's too, but I think that's less likely. In the 6.50s at a full table, you still have the donks that bluff way too much still in the game, I'd factor that in too.

Get pokerstove (google it, it's free), but in the meantime here you go:

Text results appended to pokerstove.txt

903 games 0.002 secs 451,500 games/sec

Board: 6h 5c 7h
Dead:

equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 34.441% 34.22% 00.22% 309 2.00 { KcKh }
Hand 1: 24.585% 24.36% 00.22% 220 2.00 { 8c8d }
Hand 2: 40.975% 40.75% 00.22% 368 2.00 { AhQh }

So basically your chip equity is about 34%, IF the villians are actually holding exactly what you describe. Also, I gave the heart draw an overcard too, if he doesn't have that and has QJ hearts instead our equity jumps to 44%.
