Preflop: Even though I'm at least 2:1 in nearly every situation, is it still right to push all in after his large reraise? I could easily just call, and push any non-Ace flop. His large raise basically guaranteed he'd call my preflop reraise, but he might muck to a nearly pot-size bet on such a crappy flop. And, if the A does come on the flop, I'm still comfortable with $800 so early.

IMHO you are fine the way it was. Anytime I can get allin PF with KK against one other player I'm a happy camper. PF he either had 3 outs or you were already a huge underdog, unfortunately he sucked out and hit one of the 3.

OK, so we have two camps:

+EV vs. Staying Alive early in a tourney

Anyone else have any input? Hard2tel, do you wish to elaborate?

This is a shove. If this weren't a satellite, you probably wouldn't ask about this hand, but nothing you could do here but go broke.

There is absolutely no other way to play it. If you call and push any non-ace flop then you are letting him off cheap with AK because he may only call if he beats you.
