Have only played 6 so far, so looking for ideas.

Which is why when you post a hand on this forum it shouldn't be looking for someone to validate your play. If people offer suggestions that contradict your line of thought, you need to take them to heart, not argue vehemently against every opposing opinion. If you were so sure your play was right, why do you post the hand?
I'm not trying to be contentious here, just pointing out that when you post a hand you are asking for advice. Half the posts in this thread are yours. Do a bit more listening.
The short version of what my initial thought on your hand was this: don't put too much stock in a pause. Many people playing 20/180s are 4-tabling. It might have been their turn at three tables at once.
K9 is marginal, especially with people left to act behind you because you have 3 people's hands to worry about not 1. If this was a SB vs BB situation I would call. In this case I think you need A8+, 22+ KJ+. You're only a coin flip against QJ here, behind any A or pair and only 60/40 over 87, with two hands behind you who have you covered and are now getting great odds to call.
