Normally I would have flat called KJs vs SB raise but I came across some ranges where it said it's a value raise vs SB open. So I raised. SB goes allin, odds are 2:1, shit spot.

So what's better preflop? flat call or raise?
Thanks :f_drink:

PokerStars - 200/400 Ante 50 NL (8 max) - Holdem - 7 players

If you raise, should be shove..If you raise here, the position is "against you". He can call and shove OTF..You can do that vs BTN for example, KJs is not very suitable for NAI 3bet, still you can do that OOP. To look very strong...Mainly this will be resteal shove.
You can flat as well, you don't have very impressive equity vs his calling range, the hand have good play ability, some showdown value and you have a position..

I think it depends on the ICM..With heavy ICM you should call..Shove if the ICM is not heavy...

It's a 3.5x, I realize that now..Well, this is a call..I prefer call..Forget about all this..You have a little FE. Usually...If you noticed something about his sizes (he like to use big size) and the ICM is heavy, you should shove...

Calling seems better in against a 3,5x raise in position. If you 3bet you get decent odds if villain shoves on you and KJs isn't a great hand against villains shoving range. Most of the time you would have 2 life cards and flush possibilities.
