We should be raising only with a polarized range here. I don't know if he has JTo in this position, most people don't but you still lose to sets and JTs.

So the next question is: How strong is KQ and should we even be raising this hand here? I think this is a medium-strong hand. I hate raise folding here, so I would probably opt for a call.
