SB (1,360) 14bb
BB (3,055) 31bb

Blinds: 50/100

Pre-Flop: (150, 8 players) HERO is BTN K♠ Q♥
1 fold, UTG+1 goes all-in 295, 3 folds, HERO calls 295, 2 folds

I think the hand is good to call but not so strong to iso push, but the BB will have good odds to call, so how do i play here?

Hello,

Iso push is definitely something I wouldn't do here.

Iso raise is a lot better IMO so raising to 600 will ensure that sb or bb doesn't come with ATC because of the odds they'll be getting.

We'll be raise/folding to a 4bet of course.

Hi all,

2 options here:

Calling is OK. If BB is a standard regular, he won't be good enough to realise and he will fold too often actually in this spot (where he should be calling super wide). If BB is a fish, he will actually be playing better I think generally, vs our call.

Shoving is OK. If BB is a fish, he will be folding too much.

Raise/folding is NOT OK. Pot odds are important, and should not be ignored.
