Default 10$ mtt Crazy call?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

UTG (t1800)
UTG+1 (t4787)
MP1 (t7105)
MP2 (t2090)
MP3 (t1574)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">7 folds</font>, SB completes, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t600</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB raises to t2865</font>, Hero calls t2190.

Flop: (t5655) A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

River: (t5655) K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

I had strong feeling he was restealing and also I am tired so thats pretty much why I did have courage to make this call. Is this bad call?

Depends on how aggressive you've been prior, but I'm leaning to it being a pretty iffy call. You're at best 50%, and this move screams co-ordinated hand or PP. You're a dog to both.

I'd let it go. I'm not entirely sure I'd raise, but that depends on my image previous.

no its a good call - not because of your holding, but because of the pot odds: 2190:3465=1:1,6
you are a favorite to any non pair.
as you will face non-pair holdings most of the time you have to call this one

The decision your asking about is probably a call - it's borderling if he's shoving top 10% &amp; people limpshove wider than that.
HOWEVER, you have to decide what your doing to a push BEFORE you raise to 600. It helps to think about this and thus sometimes not get into these borderline situations...here perhaps check, perhaps raise to 450 &amp; fold to shove, depending on reads.

Raise calling is fine. Checking behind is also fine.

Raise folding is bad.

i dunno...i'm not a big fan of getting all in preflop with baby pairs (maybe a leak)...especially with a decent stack...in this hand I just see the flop with position and play poker...I mean what's the absolute best case calling is push?Are we a big enough favorite over anything to make this a worthwhile play?
