LIVE TOURNY - You don't win a tourny in the first stages, so although a double up is nice going out is the risk.
Its a conservative way to play AA but what other hands goes all in so early?
The original re-raise is suggesting a strong hand and I think this play is looking for a call from that player who may decide to go with AK, QQ or indeed KK
I would need a strong read to put all my chips in here and there should be plentty of tells available.  Poker is about making good decisions based on the info available so there is no definitive answer.
I would edge towards a fold here personally.

Internet tourny though its an insta-call

They look to good to fold for me!!  May as well go for glory as your QQ's later in the tourney will only run into A's so may as well get it done now.  God loves a goer......

In a deep stack tournament I'd fold.

Rather than take any sort of risk trying to take all their chips in one go, I'd rather safely take all their chips a bit at a time in subsequent pots.

a) i dont like to rr KK early in position early on in a deep comp.
b) is the table/field tough, are there donkeys about, how many runners/top heavy is the comp etc. This is sooo situational. Most likely if the player is a player i pass. What is he pushing with please?

Situational.

What is? 

Quote from: me in the first post of the thread
First level of a deep-stack tournament with a decent blind structure.

You have KK.

You don't know any of your opponents, and you have no idea how any of them play.

Someone raises to 200 (4xBB), you make a standard re-raise - they shove all-in making it 10,000 total.

Call or fold?

That's the situation.
