I'm just reading Harringotn Vol II on this very topic. If the Big Blind is 200 then I'm assuming the Sm Blind is 100 and no antes so the pot = 300 giving you have a M of 4.6 which puts in what Harrington calls the Red Zone. Any K in you position is good 3 handed (now that UTG has folded) plus your K is suited. So:
1. your hand is fairly good,
2. position is good,
3. you're 1st in which is good BUT
4. your going all-in against the Chip Leader - not good but not all that bad
5. BB is a middle stack and vunerable to your bet - also good.
Add it all up and I believe ole Dan would tell you to push! You're hoping for a fold from both blinds but have a decent chance if either calls.
