Big call or fold and wait for better spot?

    Default Big call or fold and wait for better spot?

    Villain has been loose and aggressive, but has not shown down many hands. I was thinking small set or nut flush draw here. Is this an obvious fold? Still a ways from the money.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $50+$5 Tournament, 125/250 Blinds 25 Ante (9 handed)

    UTG (t4260)
    Hero (UTG+1) (t8715)
    MP1 (t4216)
    MP2 (t2685)
    MP3 (t6165)
    CO (t5170)
    Button (t7585)
    SB (t10292)
    BB (t4652)

    Hero's M: 14.53

    Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with QcKc
    1 fold, Hero bets t750, 4 folds, Button calls t750, SB calls t625, 1 fold

    Flop: (t2725) 2c 6c Ks (3 players)
    SB bets t9517 (All-In), Hero calls t7940 (All-In), 1 fold

    Turn: 6h
    River: 4d

    Total pot: t18605

    Villain: shows [Kh Ad] (two pair, Kings and Sixes)

    I'd call without the flush draw, with it pump your fist first. This is a set like .01%. Why would he do this with a set? regular size lead or check both make a ton more sense.

    Never folding TP + FD is pretty much a good policy.

    I know this makes no sense for a set, but I've seen it happen a few times. This play doesn't make sense for any hand really, I was totally confused.

    I follow the same policy I guess I was just looking for reassurance.

    Makes sense with a drawheavy hand, maybe one thats worse than yours

    All in here is most likely a NFD, that seems to becoming a standard play imo. If that is the case he has 8 outs, any Ace and the 7 remaining clubs makes you about 60% favourite. If it is a set which i seriously doubt you have 9 outs so almost a coin flip.
    Its an insta call, no thought needed.

    The insta push there can be a lot of things there is a good chance hes a donk, but more likely a draw. I dont see him pushing with a set there, I think he would of attempted a check raise with a set. I call there everytime.
    I would rather have a bottle in front of me then a frontal labotomy

    Thanks for all the reassuring advice! I just found myself second guessing here cause it didn't work out. Results are posted at the bottom in white. His play still seems strange given his hand.
