Min raising KQ preflop

[Spee]

You have 2.200 in chips, CO(one of the button) whit KQo in the hole, tree limpers, the blinds are 200/100.

What would you do?

You could fold.

Folding is awful, in limit or no limit.

So that leaves calling, raising less that max and raising the max. Any one of the three could be valid, depending on the situation, the players, distribution of the better players (whether to your left or right), the tournament, etc.

How you play preflop sort of dictates how you are going to play on the flop. If you haven't thought these three things through, then that is the first step.

Obviously, if you jam it is a major semi-bluff and there should be at least some chance that everyone will fold. With three limpers in and a few yet to act, the chances of getting all folds is slim. Exit the jam.

With a min-raise or med-raise, you expose yourself to a steal and more or less commit yourself to jamming the flop if it hits you in any way shape or form. However, I think the raise here is more suited to limit play than no-limit, where in limit you are raising to build a pot in case you get a good flop.

So that leaves the call as my preferred play here, with no other table information to work from.
