Call pre flop with KK, is it ever justified?
6 seat $11 sng NL HE, 3 players in and blinds at 50/100. Villain uber aggressive and had pushed on lots of pre flop/flops even when pots were small and blinds still 20/40. He got lucky a couple of times after being called, flipped something ridiculous like 93o and managed to beat JJ!! He tended to fold to pre flop raises, but hammered limpers with pre flop/flop push. Hero is Btn, villain is big blind. I only called to ensure villain didnt fold knowing that he would be likely to push it in at some point with air. I know this contravenes the 'don't just call' mantra, but it seemed like a good idea at the time.
Seat 4 is the button
Total number of players : 3
Seat 5: ( $4030 )

Is this a good play given villains playing style, or does the risk of him making a hand with rag, or Ax on the flop make it too risky?
