Hi guys I am wondering what you think about KQs and how you play it. I mean this hand is reraly dominated but merely offers a coin flip against a low pair, and a small ace. Anyway here is the hand I am not sure about.

MP (t1950)
<font color="#C00000">Hero (t1125)</font>
SB (t2690)

Preflop: Hero is Button with K/images/graemlins/spade.gif, Q/images/graemlins/spade.gif.
<font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to t250</font>, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>,Hero pushes all in, UTG calls t875.
Flop: (t1275) 9/images/graemlins/club.gif, 4/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 7/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

Final Pot: t1275
Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF">
UTG has Kh As (one pair, aces).
Hero has Ks Qs (one pair, queens).
Outcome: UTG wins t1275. </font>
Here he has AK but on the 30$ I believe many time the non all in raise will be with a hand that doesn't want to be all in, and you will often win the blinds + the raise putting you in a very good position, or most of the times you get a coin flip when called. Anybody agrees with that logic?
Also is it possible to call that much without pushing? You will only flop 35% of the time and have to fold if he (likely) raises ahead of you. You will rarely get a 4 flush and even less often FLOP the flush... So you might have to push on a draw if you call here.
Last option at this stage is it possible to fold this hand?
Thanks
