[Closed] $1MTT KQo in SB

As played I think it is ok to push flop.
But I think it is best to push preflop.

What hand did you put MP on limping in - small pair? KQ? Ax (x=2-8)? QJs?JTs?

By going all-in post flop (after your pre-flop raise) you are indicating real strength, AK or suited connectors in diamonds or pocket KK, AA, TT or a bluff!

If you look at the range of your opponent Ax would be the only hand to have you beat and even then you have 2 chances to make your A flush or straight or KKK.

By going all-in you almost certainly induce the fold. What you want are his chips - so check to show weakness and induce the bluff - you can either check raise or check call and try and extract more on the river.

I don´t agree.
Which weaker hands do you want to get bluffs from? The flop is too scary as if you would get action from anything that didnt connect.
And against a range that hit the flop you run way to bad to trap. Furthermore you cant afford to give away free cards, on a J or Q turn it gets really ugly.

You have potsize left, push on the flop is a good option and most probably the best play.
