I'm shoving the lot in most cases although your opponent's overbet does intrigue me.
I'd say that he's trying to buy the pot thinking that it looks like a flop that you would have missed.
You're 50/50 even against AA.
If he had the overpair, surely he would have re-raised pre-flop (difficult to be sure without knowing your opponents).
If he flopped a set, would he have bet out like that?
The only other hand that you're in any trouble against is a better Q and you're still better than 40% even if he has AsQc for instance.

On that board, giving him a range of any queen, sets, suited spades with one paint, any two pair, you're ahead and should win 63% of the time, so I shove.
p.s thanks for the feedback
Yes, it was a strange way to play KK, I think. Initially, you'd guess he was trapping you but, if so, you'd think that he'd check raise you on that flop rather than betting out. As you say, maybe he was inexperienced and was just glad to see no ace on the flop and got over-excited.
If you get the same situation again, do the same
That equity is vs his betting range, not his range for calling a shove.
Obv raising is +EV, but since we never get action from a weaker made hand, and very rarely from a worse draw, I flat this all day.
flatting on the flop or getting it all in on the flop wors both ways i fink....? because wat ever happens on the turn my hand is still to strong jsut to keep flatting and i want to make maximum walue of my draw if i get there..?
If our card doesn't come and our opponent goes all-in, we no longer have the odds to call (with one card to come) for a 2/1 shot.
If our card does come (Q or spade) we quite likely lose our customer who probably put us on a Q and/or a flush draw when we just call the flop bet.
