Default KQ Facing Button All-in Re-raise

Getting Short. Is this a call or fold and find a better spot? Or should I push/fold pre-flop?

Why not just shove?
Are we too deep with M ~ 7?

I agree with just shoving pre due to stack size and good position. Taking down the blinds without a fight here is good.
As played I'd always call here, too.

I might open shove instead of just raising here but you gotta call here.

While you're not upset if someone calls (I mean you're gonna CALL a shove, aren't you?,) you pick up some extra FE by open-shoving. Best-case scenario is to take it down uncontested, so go ahead and shove.

question: what would you do with AA here with an M of 7? If you shove with KQ and make standard raise with AA surely that gives away too much info when you want someone to call and when you don't. if you open shove here then you should also shove with AA, which seems to donkish to me with an M of 7?

i no the people hu merit pushing are better than me so maybe you can explain?

You shove with anything you are playing in this situation, and hope that you actually get called when you happen to be shoving with AA because people don't give you credit.
