KQo in SB against CO raise (6max)

[GoodOL]

CO open raises (6max PFR=12% after about 75 hands) and button folds. BB is loose/passive preflop...but moderately aggressive postflop (again, not many hands). You have KQo in SB....????

[Koss]

3-bet all day long.

[GoodOL]

Anyone else?

Hand 1: 53.7859 % 50.40% 03.39% { 77+, A7s+, K9s+, QTs+, JTs, ATo+, KTo+, QJo }...top 15%

Hand 2: 46.2141 % 42.82% 03.39% { KQo }

Sounds like BB will not fold to a 3 bet, right? I like calling here.

Why would he fold to a 3bet?

Fold preflop. No Position and you are more than likely dominated with AQ or AK.

You might want to post this in the MUSH forum for better responses.

GoodOL: Your range for the CO is way too tight. It's probably more like any ace, any pair, any two broadways. I 3-bet this. I understand that 12% is a low PFR for 6-max, but it's also only a 75 hand sample.

Manolo: Folding is by far the worst of the three options. I don't think I need to explain why.

I learned that tight players will often raise with hands better than KQ also given his position in sb it is more than likly you are right and CO has a Ax which means KQ is behind. Why is folding the worst option?

[Dazarath]

If I had a large sample size on the villain, and he had something like a 15% ASB, then I'd consider folding. As is, he's basically an unknown, and there's no way I'm folding KQo to an unknown open-raising in the CO.

I thought it was pretty self-explanatory why you shouldn't be folding, but ok. I'll put it this way: if you're willing to fold KQo to unknown steals, I guarantee you'll be losing too much in the blinds to even have a chance of being a winning player. The fact that A2o beats KQo is irrelevant. 22 beats AKo, but are you just going to call AKo? Or fold? It's a losing play to call down with every Ax, hoping your opponent has KQ, or call down every pocket, hoping your opponent has AK.

If your read it is a steal than reraise if not i still think the right call is to fold. Position is everything. I would difently call in the BB considering I already have money invested and i have a decent hand.
