KQs 3-handed - call this raise?
 

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (3 handed) converter

SB (t1860)
Hero (t3520)
Button (t8120)

Preflop: Hero is BB with K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
Button calls t200, <font color="#CC3333">SB raises to t800</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to t8120</font>, SB calls t1035 (All-In).

SB is LAG-Donk. Button is Loose passive - hasn't gotten out of line at all.

bump - is there nothing worth saying about this hand?

Re: KQs 3-handed - call this raise?
 

Looks fine to me. With two people already showing some strength I'm not getting involved.

Tanks for the response jgun. That's how I felt too.

I fold this hand because the range of hands that he could have made this move with ie, any pair, AA-A2 you are behind some obvious more than others.

Re: KQs 3-handed - call this raise?
 

If button is Loose/Passive and SB is a LAG, then I fold this hand in a heartbeat.

I would expect Button to call the raise from SB and that SB probably has a marginal hand that you are ahead of, but even if you are ahead of SB you have to worry about Button. This isn't a situation I want to be trying to outdraw two opponents with KQs.

My thoughts here if it were me is let Button take out SB, then play the Loose/Passive for 1st.

Re: KQs 3-handed - call this raise?
 

Given your read, I think laying this down is a major mistake.

Button could have literally any 2, and so could SB. KQs is a huge favorite over any 2. There's 1.2k in the pot, and I definitely at least call this raise because of position, but I think reraising a pot-committing amount is good here.

Re: KQs 3-handed - call this raise?
 

If SB is lag donk, why didn't you push to his 800 raise? Because of button's pf limp? But he's passive, you expect him to limp.

I would push when it's 800 to me. Calling has merits too (eh, perhaps..). If you call and button pushes, then I fold.
