Push in BB with KQs

[Sam T.]

Party $10+1, six players left, blinds at t25/50. Hero is in the BB with t575 after posting and KQs.

Folded to big stack on the button makes it t100, SB folds. Button is pretty loose, so I put him on a very wide range of hands, say any two cards above 8.

My choices:
-Call and see what happens on the flop
-Run a stop and go
-Fold
-Push

Whatcha think?

KQs plays well in multi-way posts and in position. There is no reason to try and risk your entire stack to take down t175 chips w/ KQs by pushing. Calling off ~20% of your stack to hit the flop is also incorrect.

Here, folding is fine. The exception I can think of is if blinds are going up immediately; however with the new t75-150 round this is less of a threat, but a consideration.

There is just absolutely no reason to fold KQs to a button minraise which could be any two cards.

KQs plays (very) well heads up against any two cards. I push here. It's a good boost to your stack if he folds, and if not, you've got a good chance to be a 60/40 favorite and double up, which is nice.

This is a push for me everytime, with call coming in second, and fold coming in 3rd somewhere in a far off land, where the villian had never shown down anything but aces.

yeah, you gotta push here.

Folding here is terrible IMO. Button min raised meaning nothing, depending how loosey goosey the button is I'd be liable to push. It's either a call or push you can't really re-raise without committing yourself.
