Default Re: KQ off

You say he is unknown, so lets say that he is generally a TAG, a LP or a LAG.

A TAG's 3-betting range is AK, AQ (maybe), TT, JJ QQ, KK, and AA. The only hands you beat here are TT and JJ. SO he is ahead with a LOT more hands than he is behind.

A LP's 3-betting range is even more narrow so we are behind even more.

The only way you are likely to have the best hand here is if villain is a LAG, and even then it is shaky because he raises with a lot more aces.

Basically this means you are beind almost every hand vs almost every opponent except MAYBE a LAG. I think you have the odds to peel one on the flop, but even if you improve i wouldn't get too aggressive because the same hands that improve you improve his range. Definite fold on the turn UI.

3-beting ranges are pretty narrow, and if you are aginst a villain who 3-bets crap you will have a read within the first orbit so you will know next time.

C/R is ridiculous, and IMO calling down is a mistake too in this spot.
