You can regard the minraise as a limper. So you can just raise with your KQ here. However, the amount you raise to should be 3x raise-size +1x per caller.

So here we have a raise and 1 caller, that means 4x raise-size which is $0.80. However, since you're OOP (Out Of Position) on the flop, you can push here immediately preflop (the same as you would do with 3 or more limpers).

As played your check/call on the flop is good, because your odds are good enough (flushdraw + 2 overcards).
On the turn you really have a monsterdraw, but in a multiway pot OOP I think it's good to check/raise all-in. So I like your line there!

Hi AndriusLT,

i personally don't like it. KQs is a marginal hand, it has it's playability but also drawbacks (can easily be dominated). We should hardly ever enter the pot in unraised pot (cause the number 1 goal of sss play is 'put all your money in as soon as possible').

It's marginal, but playable if you are able to provide good line postflop. Here, I sense a good spot for a check/raise all-in. It gives you lost of fold equity, surely enough to make this play +EV.
