Zoom 6Max, KQs on BTN, will you flat a 4bet IP?

You are deep and you are in position so i think you could at least see the flop

I would have called also.

3-betting big (3.6x) and than folding seems like a leak. Either 3bet smaller-fold or 3bet-call with your sizing.

Thanks. I think I will just use the pot button next time which should make the size a bit smaller than 9BB.

I will be incline to call with the intention of hitting a straight, royal flush(for good measure haha), flush or minimum 2 pair of KQ because we are 140bb deep and we are in position plus the 4-bet is not more than 3x our 3-bet.

Thanks guys. It's actually very simple for me. He is 10BB short for me make the call but may be I will consider it next time.

If you have game plan in calling a raise, then just follow your game plan.

Normally, I'm calling 3-bet if I have a hand that want to speculate if they have at least x10 of the blinds I'm still calling for. How about you?

That's interesting way of looking at it. I actually don't know how I make these decisions. I think I tend to look at each situation differently.

All depends on the range of villain.
Does he 4bet bluff Ax and/or suited connectors?

If not.. you have to flop really lucky to beat him and get money. Best you can hope for is having a low board with him having pockets and hitting your flush on the river?

All high boards are a problem. Unless you make a straight on a non paired board..

I would prefer a hand like 78s over this one to call with.

Yes, the problem with this hand is that while calling for flush and straight in mind is well meaning, you might get suckered into being dominated. So, you almost want to call with something like 98s/87s/64s instead.

Exactly my thought.
I keep KQs in my calling range in position vs MP.
3bet it from the blinds against cutoff and btn.

Yes, I think I prefer flat here on BTN with KQs and 3bet KQo on BTN vs HJ/CO instead.

This play here with KQs in OP is totally random but I'm not sure if I like it THAT much.
