K7s 3 handed

I don’t think raising is bad pre-flop, but a min raise is big enough and you still need to call the short stack if he/she shoves on you.

A shove is profitable, ICMizer says shove (35.1%) 22+,A2+,K3s+,K9o+,Q6s+,QTo+,J7s+,JTo,T7s+,97s+,87s,76s,65s
K7s is +0.13%

But I agree with SDK
min raise/fold to BB
min raise/call to SB

Its a better strategy at micros

I would even fold pre flop because both blinds are shorties and very likely to shove and then you must call with a marginal hand that is very probably underdog against their proable ranges (Ax, any pair, JTs+, K9s+, Q9s+).

Besides at the micros the shorties tend to kick out each other, even sometimes the big stack. Patience gets rewarded at the micro stakes (my personal experience).

Folding seems way too tight to me, as a BS if youre folding K7s from the BU then what are you raising, only good Ax & pairs? K7s is a top 21% hand so often here you win the blinds and antes uncontested

It depends stongly on villains in the blinds. I indeed fold K7s if the BB is a so called "calling station" or if SB and/or BB are very loose. Then it seem to me like spewing chips on a marginal hand. On the other hand, if SB and BB have shown before that they are able to fold then I make a minraise.

If hes a calling station, then I'd still min raise and see a flop IP against a weaker player, or maybe even limp the BU if you dont want to raise
I would only fold if the SB or BB are super aggro and been shoving over all my raises

I fold if:

*The SB is super aggro and pushing with almost any hand (and BB is a loose caller)
*If SB and BB are pure recreational players

I raise/shove if:

*BB is a reg, average or tight (then I shove)
