Hi,

I expect KQo to be ahead of villain's range, however don't really want to either 3-bet fold or 3-bet shove. Is calling ok or would you just fold?
The flop is straighty enough that I feel I have to shove my top pair, is it reasonable? The only alternative I can think of is call flop, fold if they bet on the turn?

Thanks!

It’s a little bit weird he isn’t shoving right away with his 13bb stack. That makes it tough to defend with KQo with also some re-shove stacks behind you and I would fold here. The flop is standard I think with the draw to the straight as back-up

Cheers,
