Default I hate KQ

Villain in this hand is a decent player, pretty aggresive, pretty tight. Hasn't done anything weird as far as I know.
I am pretty unsure about every street. KQo is just tough to play. Should I 3bet PF? His opening range is pretty wide, so I guess that would be an option.

What about postflop?

He has around 100bb and I have him covered.

I'm in SB, he is in CO, there's one bad player on the btn. He's not really important.

Dealt to Hero[ Kc Qd ]
Villain raises [$16].
Bad player calls [$16].
Hero calls [$14].
folds.
** Dealing Flop ** [ Jd, 3c, Kd ]
Hero checks.
Villain checks.
Bad player checks.
** Dealing Turn ** [ Ks ]
Hero bets [$32].
Villain raises [$124].
Bad player folds.
Hero calls [$92].
** Dealing River ** [ 3h ]
Hero checks.
Villain is all-In.
Hero ?????

If the bad player is able to fold if you squeeze and openraiser's range is pretty wide, this is a good spot to 3-bet. If you feel really insecure postflop with KQo with this villain, you should fold rather than call. You aren't giving up that much anyways.

His turn raise is very weird. This is very read dependent. I wanna call down because people don't check hands that beat you on this flop.

Yeah well, we both have the same boat 95% of the time, so it's an easy call.

3bet preflop is better than calling.

your line is good on the turn and i think its a lot better than shoving turn.

You have to call river. The only reason you should check river is that you think villian has nothing or will hang himself with A,A.

I dont like calling preflop. It's not like you are going to win a big hand and most often you are going to find yourself in tricky spots like this. If you dont feel too cramped and are confident post flop should be fairly straightforward, 3betting is good.

Also as played I dont mind checking this turn. The double check will surely tempt a bet from villain with a worse hand then you can put in a value bet on the river that he has to call. I dont think you can expect too much more from this hand.

Bet flop. As played, you look like u have maybe a weak J, TT, or a draw. The draws missed on riv. BTW, jus saw that u have K's full. ONLY KJ beats u, so [censored] call!
