Normally I fold KQs here preflop but UTG and MP both look like fish from their stack sizes.

This is such a good flop for KQ I probably just stack off. Only problem is nut flush draw kills our equity somewhat, but they don't always have nut flush.

If we assign them some ranges, assuming that on average 2 of the 3 other players in the hand are going all in:

Equity Win Tie
UTG 32.78% 32.68% 0.10% KK+, JJ, 99, 55, AJs, QTs, AhKh, AhQh, KhQh, KhJh, QhJh, AhTh, KhTh, JhTh, AJo
MP 33.59% 33.57% 0.02% JJ, 99, 55, J9s, AhJh, AhTh, JhTh, Ah9h, Th9h, Ah8h, Jh8h, Th8h, 9h8h, Ah7h, Jh7h, Th7h, 9h7h, 8h7h, Ah6h, 8h6h, 7h6h, Ah5h, 7h5h, 6h5h, Ah4h, 5h4h, Ah3h, Ah2h
BU 33.63% 33.55% 0.09% KhQh

We have 33% equity which is more than enough to get involved in 3 way all in especially when there is already good amount of money in the pot.

These ranges are quite tight also. Given that UTG and MP are both fish, there are probably a lot more (weaker) hands they can have, which only increase your equity.

You can't always think like "I don't have the best hand, I have to fold". You are definitely beat here but pot odds will be right to call it off.
