But why fold KQ pre in a 6 max game?? I value that hand like AJ in fr is that not correct?

Im not really folding the hand im folding the position


KQ is a fine holding, but its not the nuts, and its tough to play OOP in a multiway raised pot, and I dont even think it's a close decision.

Actually, your cards matter very little here. I just read your long post too. You need to remember that your cards only matter if and when they get to showdown.

Your position here is actually very strong. Yes, we will be playing a flop oop, but more on that in a second. If cutoff has a decent stealing range then he is folding most of his holdings if you 3-bet here. He is even more likely to fold to a reraise as the button has position on him if all 3 of you see a flop. Likewise, the button has already screamed out to you that he wants to see a flop with his cold call, most buttons are folding most of their range to a 3-bet here also.

We have a hand that is easily folded if 4 bet. If we are called preflop then you can continuation bet most boards profitably.
