Default 6.50: dealing with donk bets

How do you guys plays these spots and what do you think of my line? Admittedly, these bets tilt me and I just want to shove a pile of chips down their throat.

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t30 (8 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

Hero (t2980)
UTG+1 (t1470)
MP1 (t1360)
MP2 (t2080)
CO (t1185)
Button (t1655)
SB (t1410)
BB (t1360)

Preflop: Hero is in UTG with K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

I just call here. The odds about about right, you just have to tread carefully if you hit a K.

Raise less pre.

I don't see the point in raising the flop. My default is to fold.

Guys must be kidding me. 1) PF raise is fine.
2) Nothing wrong with calling the flop bet if you think he is
FOS
3) Why RR? You have Ace high.
4) Once you get three bet you have to fold, the donk bet was
asking to get rr - this screams "I have a set" or "I have a big pair"

I agree... you could always hit an A or K on the turn which you don't give yourself a chance to do by reraising

I think pf raise amount is fine. I normally just limp AK at the early levels and try to play small pots unless I hit...I hate this exact situation, raise pf and miss and then spew chips with the continuation bet..
