Default $5 Home game STT - KT with dangerous flop

Playing in a $5 home 6-man STT - part of tournament series where points accrued each month seed players in a later tourney. STT opens with 10K stacks and 400/200 blinds with 100 ante. We are about 10 hands in when the following hand arises. Stack sizes approximate:

Seat 1 (13000)
Seat 2 (9000)
Seat 3 (15000)
Seat 4 (6000)
Hero (9000)
Seat 6 (8000)

Hero is at the cutoff with K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
Seat 3 calls 400
Seat 4 folds
Hero calls 400
Seat 6 calls 400
Seat 1 folds
Seat 2 checks

Pot is T1900
Flop is K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
Seat 2 folds
Seat 3 raises 1000
Seat 4 folds
Hero . . .

I think that HOH/1 deals with a similar situation, but haven't had time to dig it up. This is a dangerous hand with many draw possibilities, and it looks like I might be ahead in the hand, but who knows? I think folding is out of the question. Calling the 1000 seems weak to me. If I make a PSB and brick the turn, can I call any following bet? Folding at that point leaves me at M~5, and I am pushing with some trash in a few hands anyway. Pushing AI looks like the best alternative, since there are only ~10 hands that are beating me now, and even if someone has one, I got outs. I'm probably beat if I get called, but at least I'll keep someone from drawing at me with Ax or x9. The structure of this STT forces you to play fast, so a lot of luck is involved in any case.

I'd be interested in any thoughts you might have.
