Calling all in with Top pair no kicker
Early stages of tournament with 7 players currently at the table. Table overall is very passive, very little preflop raising besides with monster cards (TT+, AK, etc..)
H is in BB with Kh3c
V is a know LAG, bit of a maniac but sharp player who will take any chance he gets to double up.
Both players are short stacked, V has ~12BB, H has closer to ~20BB.
--OTTH--
Action folds to V in btn who limps into the pot
SB Folds and H checks.
(2BB) Flop comes Kd4c9s
H checks
V raises 2BB
H calls
(6BB) Turn comes Kd4c9s + 2h
H checks
V shoves all in for 9BB

Call or fold?

Most players, even LAGs, try to milk people a little bit and don't shove 1.5x pot when they have a monster.
I would call it off vs a LAG. He knows you would have raised with the strong or even medium Kings and is trying to push you off a lower pair most likely.

Agreed. Either that or he's very polar here and has a monster or absolute air, in which case he has more air than monsters and hero should call.
