Default Call allin with overpair fairly early?

Poker Stars $5 +$0.50 18 ppl, about 1/2 hr in.. blinds 25/50

Seat 1: BB (1735 in chips)
Seat 3: UTG (2260 in chips)
Seat 4: UTG + 1 (3520 in chips)
Seat 6: MP (3780 in chips)
Seat 7: CO (985 in chips)
Seat 8: BTN (1165 in chips)
Seat 9: Hero SB (1835 in chips)

Hero dealt Ks Kh.
MP limps in, Hero makes it 200 total, BB calls, MP folds.
Flop: 4h Jh Ts (2 players, pot: 450)
Hero bets 350, BB raises 1150 to 1500 (leaving himself with 35).
Hero?

BB has been playing loose passive, limping in pots, calling flop and turn sometimes, then folding. But again I've only been playing with him for about 20 min.

i think this is the flop you were praying for with KK...if you fold on this flop, what flops do you call on?

Go with it.

Alot of semibluffs or TPs in his range that you beat & your getting decent odds ==> get your chips in

If he flopped a set or two pair there then so be it. His raise could also be a semi-bluff, and very often he's holding TPTK. You're beating everything except a set or a very unlikely two pair, why not try to double up?

Default Fold

You should fold this hand quickly every time that your opponent inadvertantly exposes his AA. All other times beat him into the pot for both his bet and his extra $35.

We go broke with these stack sizes with this hand and this type of flop. Wet Board, draw heavy, way possible he has KQ, or top pair+backdoors+kicker, or gutshot and overs (AK), or flush draw (nutty with overs or not), etc.

Its just a board we go broke on. J63 rainbow, we bet 2/3 he shoves, we fold. A73, we bet 2/3 he shoves, we fold. QT6 two flush, we bet 2/3 he shoves, we instacall.

Its all about the texture.
