This being a $1 SNG, it could be AA, or some raggy Ace our villain thinks is a big hand. Often, the limp/reraise line is AA.

You need to make your decision preflop here I think. I would either put him on AA, just call the preflop reraise, and get away when I don't hit my set, or say, well, I have KK, you could have anything, and reraise it up big preflop, looking to get most/all the money in there. Then I would go broke on this flop.

pre-flop: Raise to 550-650, not a werid min-raise. - hope to get it in.

Flop: Re-raise. His raise is weak, he could of missed with AK, you get information by raising.

Turn: You put yourself in a tough spot which isn't you're aim with KK. How ever he could be double barreling with AK if he picked up a flush draw or might have hit it and getting small (werid bet) value.

Overall, try and get it in pre-flop!

I would never fold this. His limp-3bet might be indicating aces, but this is 1 buck SNG and villain could hold a pretty wide range of hands. As Dec inclined, try to get it in pre by raising bigger. Same story on the flop.

You definitely should note his play.

This. As played I wouldn't fold the turn either as a flush is a very small part of his range and this is a 4!bet pot preflop.
