Default Sit-n-gp, big hand, expecting multiple callers-go all in?

How should I look at the following situation: Level one of a microlimit sit-n-go, and it's obvious from the first hand that most of the table is looking for a situation to get their money in. Hand number three, I'm on the button with KK. By the time it gets to me, only one player has folded, and it's 10 big blinds to me. If I go all in, I think I might get called with as little as any pair, Ax, any two high cards, and maybe even Kx, Qx, or other hands. I think it's probzbly about a 50% situation for me, but it's been too few hands to get any real reads to make a good estimate.

If I win of course, I've tripled up or more, and I'm pretty much a lock to cash, and a decent chance to win the SNG. If I'm lose, I'm out in 5 minutes--in hourly rate terms, that's pretty bad.

Comments please?

Push, push push! You're only losing to AA, and the way you've described the table, it's likely that there are at least a couple who are spewing their chips w/ A5o or something equally hideous, which means they're there will be a reduced # of cards that beat you. As HoH says, you only have a limited time to accumulate chips, and this looks like as good of a time as any. If you get outdrawn, that's just the breaks sometimes.

Never fold KK preflop. If you're not willing to push with that hand then you shouldn't be playing poker.

It should be noted that, if you have an extremely good read on another opponent, and he raises all in, and you put him in AA, you can fold.

But your read must be GREAT.

it's micro limit...push. Even if you're multiway, you're getting the right odds.

Get pokerstove. This will help you go through some scenerios like this.

The limits aren't important. If you're playing in stakes where the blinds are too low for you to appreciate your stack, you shouldn't be playing.
