Trading equity for a better spot?
Was reviewing my HH for the other day and found this hand.

[i][url=http://www.pokertracker.com]Hand converted by PokerTracker 3[/url][/i]

BB: 3,210.00
UTG: 5,600.00
MP: 5,265.00
Hero (CO): 7,740.00
BTN: 5,465.00
SB posts ante 25.00, BB posts ante 25.00, UTG posts ante 25.00, MP posts ante 25.00, Hero posts ante 25.00, BTN posts ante 25.00, SB posts SB 125.00, BB posts BB 250.00
[b]Pre Flop:[/b] [i](525.00)[/i] Hero has K:spade: 9:spade:
UTG calls 250.00, [i]fold[/i], [color=red]Hero raises to 750.00[/color], [i]fold[/i], [i]fold[/i], [color=red]BB raises to 3,185.00 and is all-in[/color], [i]fold[/i], [i]fold[/i]
BB wins 2,025.00
After playing around with ranges in Equilab I found that this was actually a call. Should I call here? What is your criteria when choosing not to call, even if math says it's a call, to wait for a "better" spot?

I think i would wait for a "better" spot in cases where i have a big stack that would be hurt and the decision, even if +EV, is very close.
See the next post: http://www.runitonce.com/mtt/ako-vs-4bet-pot-60bbs-effective-from-a-f/. It would be a example of a spot that i could fold thinking like that.
I'm really curious to see what range you gave him for this to be a +cev call. I think KTs would be bottom of calling range for me here.
