Default $60 KQs L6 bubble, ok to open limp 12.5 bb\'s from button?

sorry, no hand history.

UG 2175
Hero 2490
SB 5280
BB 3555

ug folds, hero has KQs. both blinds are unknown except this game. i have been reasonably quiet. both blinds seem average, nothing too crazy. limp? raise500/fold? push? what is the best play.

i limped in game.

Nah, just shove. Antes would make it an easy shove. I don't think the limp option is too bad, but I don't do it.

Colin would raise because KQs plays well postflop and you'll often steal the blinds.

Suited looks like a nice shove. Offsuit might be thin/bad.

if you put sb and bb calling ranges on 66 AT AJs pushing is +.2%. which made me wonder if limping might be a better play...

if CO had more chips then i think it is an easy push, i just hate to bubble in this spot...

Closer than I thought. The antes really make a difference I guess. I still don't think pushing is bad but we have to be careful.

Limp is very bad. 4-handed on the bubble you've got position plus most likely the best hand, why limp? Don't like shoving here wasting the position and maybe get called by Ax.. put in a strong raise and call any shove. On the flop take it down with position.

"I hate to bubble in this spot".. you should hate even more if you wasted a strong hand plus position in this spot on the bubble.
