Call.
I think the situation is worth the risk given the format and structure of the tournament.
Even if you are unlucky, but Call is a perfectly adequate decision, I wouldn't be upset even if I lost chips or left the tournament.

Unless you know something about SB, I would fold here. Its a multiway pot, and you started with almost 70BB, which is a bit much to put in with just a top pair. Having Kc does matter, but its a dubble edged sword. On one side it gives you a BDFD, if you are behind. But on the other side it also makes it less likely, that he is semibluffing with a club draw. Which pushes him more towards made hands like sets or two pair.

I believe calling is an okay idea unless you have a read. This is a good board for bluffing so I would take a chance to double up with top pair here

For me it would depend on the buy-in. Are we considering punting away 27bb on top pair second best kicker? Maybe I would do it for $0.50 or $1 games.

The questions to ask are what are the bluffs that shove? The value? The Nuts?
Using-- Equilab-- (free) you can build a range by answering the above questions and then see how much equity you have vs that range. It really helps you to think deeply about this spot to build ranges and see them laid out before you.:unsure::geek:

If I didn't know that a person was playing too aggressively and wanted to take every pot, I would probably discard my cards and, after raising before the flop, wouldn't be the first to raise the flop.

I hate this situation, but I'd fold. 66 and 77 are in his range I think. I'm not sure if it worth to risk 60BBs

I would agree with you, What's the point risking your stack on a single pair? Two pair and I would have to go with it but there are so many possibilities of hands the Villain could be holding A/J or a Pocket pair that just made trips.
Playing K/J you are hoping for a straight, when you totally miss it on the flop, then it's time to slow down, re-assess your hand and my choice would have been to check a single pair, hoping to improve, however if you manage to snag another Jack on the Turn you could still be in trouble if he is playing 66 or 77 his hand just improved to a full house? I would reluctantly have to Fold!

You're in a Sit & Go poker tournament, with a hand of KJ offsuit. On the flop, you have top pair, but the SB check-raises you all-in. It's a tough spot because the SB probably has a strong hand, and you're vulnerable to a flush draw. The decision is risky, but if you're comfortable with the situation, you might consider calling. However, in general, it's better to play it safe and wait for a better opportunity.

My advice here KJ o UTG so deep is a PF fold, what do you do if you get a 3-bet.
Play Guess The Outcome.
Play proper preflop ranges and KJ o is never a UTG raise, you play lottery.
KQs may be a raise but not KJ o.
