Default Top Pair K Kicker on $10 Rebuy Bubble

46 left in morning $10 rebuy. 45 pay. Villian and I had some history in the past, he doubled me up twice while I was on the shortstack, but I hadn't seen anything like this from him. Thoughts?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t3000 (8 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

UTG (t57770)
Hero (t77706)
MP1 (t77774)
MP2 (t75069)
CO (t75888)
Button (t42455)
SB (t11627)
BB (t111129)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t9000</font>, <font color="#666666">5 folds</font>, BB calls t6000.

Flop: (t16050) T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">BB bets t101979 (All-In)</font>, Hero ???

as played I agree this is a call, you will have to dodge some [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]'s though

Does it have to be a diamond draw ? I'm wondering what people feel the hand range is when they say insta call.

i dont mind preflop, people are not shoving 25xbb over an EP raise ANYWHERE NEAR as light as they should be deep in this.

but they will be calling too much and we play a pot OOP with an awful hand, their stack sizes are perfect for a flat call PF and are deep enough for FE over a c-bet.

there is only 1 better hand he may be doing that with and that's A10 and the rest of his shoving range you crush.

yeah too many draws + TJ/TQ could be doing this. I agree with shaundeeb that AT is the only hand that he's ahead of you with that he open shoved here (most likely)...stronger hands will normally c/r all in.
