Call?
pokerpops:
2nd level of a small (20-30 runners) £10 weekly deepstack
Start with 10,000 chips
into the second level and I have c16,500 on the button with kd qh
UTG min raises and gets two callers before me
I am very sure she has a small to medium pair here, played against her pretty often and my confidence is high on the read.
I raise to 600 and small blind calls - he thinks I"m "at it", especially since he called pre, flop and turn before folding on the river to my bluff earlier.
Original raiser goes all in for an additional 5,050
I"m on a 45% chance to win the pot if she has an underpair which I am sure she does. If I call and lose I still have 11,000 chips, if I call and win I have over 21,000 (I believe SB will fold, again I"ve played with him a lot)

insta-fold
you might have confidence in your read, but you have no way of knowing for certain that she has an underpair to your KQ. What else might she min-raise with? AA,KK,QQ,AK,AQ?? and even if she does have an underpair, why would you want to risk a third of your stack so early in a tourney in a situation where you are 50/50 at best, or 20/80 at worst.
deanp27:
i wouldn"t 3bet KQ here and now i would fold very quickly
Marty719:
Rather than ne of ur options I will add:
Fold pre (and I usually advocate 3/b"n more thn most :) )
UTG + min raise = strong most of the time, and KQ just gets u in trouble. As played, make the table smoulder with the speed u muck ur cards.
WYoung83:
i would never 3 bet pre with kq in a scenario like this. Hand is too good to get forced into a fold preflop ( you wanna see a cheap flop with this). But you have now turned it into a bluff in this case. it is ok punishing weak limpers with hands like KQ because you may want to isolate them. And its ok doing a squeeze with 94o......but a squeeze with kq is not what i would do.
But now you have to insta fold. to many hands that you are way behind to, and not a good spot.
