Default Top Pair Facing Push in Stars 150 seat WSOP

Villian had been opening somewhat loose and I had been calling in position and folding some flops to his cbet and playing back on others (mostly by calling and betting or raising the turn) . He cbet almost 100% (about 1/2 pot). I took a good size pot off of him about 15 hands ago, flop had a K, I called, turn was an A and I raised, he folded...

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (9 handed) internettexasholdem.com

Hero (t3988)
SB (t4160)
BB (t7180)
UTG (t7422)
UTG+1 (t3110)
MP1 (t1315)
MP2 (t2583)
MP3 (t1200)
CO (t2005)

Preflop: Hero is Button with Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP2 raises to t300</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Hero calls t300, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, BB calls t200.

Flop: (t950) 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>

BB: checks
MP2: bets 2283 and is all-in
HERO: ???

Only other information
MP2 is a winning player at $15 average buyins for $6.8k
BB plays very poorly

With villain as described, I like a call. You're going to see a flush draw or maybe even A2-5 enough of the time to make up for the occasional AA or AK you'll be up against.

I would love a little more info on villain.This is such a big overbet,in my experience that usually doesn't mean strength,so yeah,I'd actually feel pretty good here. I would expect to see a weaker K or a flushdraw. If he actually has you beat here,so be it. Like jackospeed says,you'll see so many weaker hands often enough that it'll more than make up for the few times you are beat

He had not made an overbet up to this point. When he made the bet, I was not sure if he was tilting b/c I kept playing back at him or if he had a big hand and wanted to look like he was tilting.

Pretty certain this is either AA, AK or QQ.... either he is trying to charge a flush draw, get a weak king out, or he just wants you to think he is tilting. I don't think you are very far ahead of his range to justify calling here
