Hey guys,
There is a bit of everything in this thread and mostly good stuff. But to make sure that everyone understands really why we should do what I will try to post a detailed explanation.
Obviously stats would help a great deal to answer whether flatting or calling is best here (not only pre flop stats btw but also how he plays post flop). Since we don't have any let's see what we should be doing and when:
With KQ we clearly dominate BU's stealing range and calling, even OOP, would be +EV. The real question here is to know whether or not 3B is higher EV.
3B KQ is good if BU calls often our resteal (which I am not sure about at those stakes). If BU defend QJ, KJ, KT, QT etc... that's great for us since he will have very often a dominated hand when we flop a pair.
3B is less attractive if BU 4B or folds since we have to fold vs his 4B we only win 4bb by making him fold his crap.
If he does 4B or fold, then calling becomes better to keep his whole range in. Then we have to look at how he plays post flop to know how to proceed post flop. useful info would be CBet %, Turn CBet %, fold to x/r etc...
Since we have no stats we can play our hand relatively straight forward untill we get reads.
So to sum up the preflop decisions vs an unknown we have to know what is the general tendencies of regs at NL10. Do they 4B/fold or call more?
Hope that helps
EDIT: Forgot about the sizing: you can make it 9bb vs a 2.5bb open.
