Re: KQs against a 3-bet
[ QUOTE ]
So nobody's 3-betting w/ Tens or Jacks anymore?
Why do we even call to take the flop then?

Because we're getting 6 to 1 to see three cards. That's a lot different than getting 8 to 1 to see one card.
JJ and TT (and 99) are our best-case scenarios, and we're still well behind to them. AJ, possible but unlikely, has us beat by a thinner margin as well. QQ, AK, and AQ leave us with three outs and we need a doctor if Villain has KK or AA.
A further problem is RIO, since hitting our out may only cost us more money. If we hit a K and check/raise the turn, are we insta-folding to a three-bet?
If we even had a gutshot, it's worth a call. But we have the worst hand and no draw.
