I think the only way to lay down KK preflop is in a live-game very you get a valuable tell from your opponent.

In online-poker i think you can never fold this (except satellites...), specially never in these low buy-ins.

The only thing that scared me was the stack size.

That wouldn't scare me at all. How do you think he got all those chips? Most likely by playing loose and getting lucky.

I would never fold this, tenth in chips with 1000 left lot of poker left. Get your chips in the middle. If he spikes an Ace so be it.

Being 10th in chips doesn't mean anything this early -- the average stack size will be over 5000 before you're in the money. You need to accumulate a lot more than 5,000 chips to reach the final table, and this is a great opportunity to do so. Instacall.

Also don't worry too much about making the money. You want to build a big stack so you can win hundreds of dollars at the final table, not fold your way into a 193rd place finish for $2.84.
