PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, 0.55 Tournament, 25/50 Blinds 6 Ante (9 handed) - PokerStars Converter Tool from http://flopturnriver.com/

I raised 2.5x with pocket kings pre-flop and I was faced OTF with donk all-in shove for all my money with no overcard but possible flushdraw. I was sure I wasn't against pocket aces because no 3bet pre-flop but I was afraid of set. What was I supposed to do? Thanks

UTG+1 (6,536)
Hero (MP1) (5,378)
MP2 (4,988)
MP3 (3,387)
CO (3,740)
Button (9,816)
SB (6,370)
BB (4,870)
UTG (8,216)

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with K♦, K♠
2 folds, Hero raises to 125, 1 fold, MP3 calls 125, 1 fold, Button calls 125, SB calls 100, 1 fold

SB bets 434, Hero calls 434, MP3 raises to 3,256 (All-In), 1 fold, SB calls 2,822, Hero folds

Turn: (7,550) 2♥ (2 players, 1 all-in)

River: (7,550) 8♦ (2 players, 1 all-in)

Total pot: 7,550

Spoiler

I think when SB donks, I would raise to around 1000 maybe more say 1100 (at the moment at these micro stakes I'm experimenting with betting more than I think I should and I keep getting paid off) and calling any shove.

As played I would call the shoves, as at these micro levels they could have any flush draw, straight draw, any Q, just a pocket pair, even A high, people love a crazy play.

I would open raise at these stakes 3x so deep. I expect you get even more value with your KK and they don’t fold less most likely.
Further not too much to said what slippyjim already said.
