Re: 3/6- Stud HIgh: KK Against Q + Cold Caller
If you just call 3rd, the Q will usually lead 4th, the 7 will call, you can raise and the Q should reraise (even if he thinks you're ahead). The ace isn't actually a great card for you since one's dead and you will have to act first for the rest of the hand unless someone makes an open pair, or the Q catches an ace, too.
Calling certainly works here, but I don't think capping is wrong. The case can be made that it prevents you from protecting your hand, but even if the Q knows you have AA or KK in the hole, he still should raise 4th or 5th to try to get the pot heads up.
