Based on you're read, this is a call.

I play 1$ MTTs as well, and i would snap-call this with you're read.

I'm never folding top pair medium kicker in &lt;$5bi or lower MTT and very infrequently higher when someone shoves the flop like this. Preflop raise seems a bit marginal but what do I know.

I'd not been getting any cards for quite a few rounds when this hand came around,i thought it was a good opportunity to try and play a HU pot with a player I'd already tagged as weak,hoping everyone else might give me some respect following my tight play.
Unfortunately the villain woke up with KK this time [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] ,but I agree with you all that calling is right,just wanted to check.
Thanks.

I don't necessarily like the bet pre... but as played everything looks fine.
