My situation in this sit is not bad until this moment, i'm 2nd. And other player has only 1bb. If i push the kq and loses the hand, is very complicated for me, because he is commited with the pot, and he is calling my push yes or yes and if i would lose remain with 3BB. Is better for me only cold call? and if dont appears Q or K in the flop, i fold the hand? or fold preflop?

Thank you very much in advance :)

It’s suspicious that the 7bb stack isn’t shoving right away, but raising half his stack. That could be a tell and I don’t think you have any fold equity here. So I would take the nit approach with folding. Otherwise the shortest stack will be the winner of the hand for sure.

You definitley have no fold equity
Its not the bubble so this looks like a genuine big hand to me
Not only is an 8BB not shoving hes raising 4X as well, I agree with SDk I think you just have to fold here

According to ICM, even if he had shoved you can only call 99+, AQs, AKo
KQs is -2.73% so a massive loss

I would not be shoving here coz you have no FE and suspicious non-shove raise plus you have a very good to spot with a passive SB who will not be apply enough pressure on you and shortstacks behind you which you can apply pressure on
