The villain is unknown(at most 57 hands, no clear fish more at loose end)
I think I have a leak in those kinds of spots. Playing too much small-ball approach, having a calling range, giving 4 players after me(3regs), a nice shove spot. So I should only have a small 3bet range here. This KQs is clearly in that

How big do I go? Can I go as small as 820? What is my range? And do I have against sb/bb still a folding range?

I don't think a small ball approach is to bad, but you are indeed wide open to face a 3bet shove of 1 or more of the short stacks.

If I would 3bet a sizing of around 800 is fine. Than you have still room to fold against a 4bet shove of the blinds.

KQs is 1 of the worst hands I would 3bet with. I'm thinking of a range like 88+ ATs+ AJo+ KQs to 3bet with, but it's a little bit villain depended as well.

Cheers,

i would think about the blinds. Do you want them to join because there are fish then call. Do you want the to stay out of the pot because these guy are regs then iso the fish.
