Default Re: To cold call or raise?

cold calling makes you too easy to read imo. your hand is either a mediocre broadway or a mid PP, maybe a small PP or mid SC

I think KQo is a nice hand to 3bet with because of the way in interacts with the rest of your hand range in that spot.
mostly because you can rep an ace which can lead to some big ftop errors from villain, and it can make strong pairs that will get called down because he'll put you on Ax

and maybe he'll get tilty if you show down that you 3bet him with KQo

oh and dead money + buy the button yo

if you play it, 3 bet. you don't want ppl behind you calling since KQo wins mostly when it makes pairs than anything else. the less people in, the more likely your pair of queens, for instance if you pair the Q, hold up. also, the less ppl in the pot, the higher your chance to steal the pot postflop because of your positional advantage. another thing, the utg limper may fold and you'll get it hu, which is great.

You don't need to have >50% equity to 3 bet pre. You have an overlay from the blinds and limper assuming they fold (limper calling is fine too) and have position for the hand.
