PS 5.50, no reads. Also what if I had AQ instead of KQ?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (8 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

BB (t1385)
UTG (t2045)
UTG+1 (t380)
MP1 (t1525)
MP2 (t2545)
Hero (t1400)
Button (t1795)
SB (t2425)

Preflop: Hero is CO with K/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, Q/images/graemlins/spade.gif.
<font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t150</font>, Button calls t150, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>.

Flop: (t375) Q/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 2/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 6/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t350</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to t700</font>, Hero folds.

Final Pot: t1425

I think your fold is fine. You're behind all sorts of hands here. Typically, a re-raise of this nature (assuming it was made by a solid player) indicates "I can beat TPTK".

I think that if you think that KQo is worth a 3XBB raise then you need to push when a Q high flop comes. If this was, essentially, a blind steal that went very wrong, then you need to fold. AQ looks much better, though.

Exactly, it was a blind steal gone sour. With AQ I MAY have called, but I think AA or KK is a possibility in his hand too.

Actually, now that I think about it I think you guys are both right that AQ is probably behind here too.

Maybe if I had a better read...

Then you made a good fold. I would be asking what kind of hand would call my raise and act accordingly.
