Default Whose play is worse?

My push or villain's call? PP 22 Comments on each action welcome.

Blinds 50-100

UTG (HERO) ( $890 ) dealt KsQs, I raise all-in
UTG+1 ( $1685 )
UTG+2 ( $1395 )
CO ( $820 )
Button( $1210 )
SB (765)
BB (1235)

BB called with 88. What is your play with KQs, UTG here?

The open-push seems fine. Only other way to play KQs at this stage is to muck it. The call doesn't seem terrible either mostly because he closes the action.

Unless blinds are going up very soon, I don't like the push.

Hate the call, obviously.

I would fold KQs here.

Agree. The blinds aren't really worth stealing and if you get a call you're almost certainly a dog.

I don't mind the call. Based on the size of the raise I wouldn't suspect the pusher has AA,KK,or QQ, so 99,TT,JJ are the only hands I'm not favored against and I think there is a strong possibility that pusher has a lower pp. Also, I'm getting 1.2/1 in chip value.

I probably don't make this call but I don't think it's unreasonable, particularly for a player that feels he needs to gamble a little bit to win.

I don't like the push, and I don't like the call, but with the right reads, both are somewhat reasonable.

Edit: Basically, both suck, but you can call 88 against a maniac, and you can push KQs at a tight table.

Yeah, I think this is a fold. 20+2 tables will rarely be tight enough for this to be +EV. I don't think it's terrible though, especially if the blinds are going up next hand. As for the call, I'm not really a fan, but it's far from the worst call I've seen at this buy-in.
