Default What\'s wrong with calling?

Why not call?

If you call, you've got position with a hand that can hit the flop hard enough to move-in with quite often. I like to be in such a situation where I am headsup or 3-way with position against a preflop raiser with a hand that is good on the flop.

Reraising any size with KQs isn't particularly good; the hands that you are happy to be up against when you call - say AJ, AT, Ax (depending on opponent), JJ, TT, 99, xx (again, if there aren't enough hands in these ranges you should be folding) - are all beating you preflop, and your opponent could conceivably move in on you (if you reraised) or call (if you pushed it in) with some of these hands. And that's the thing about KQs - it just loves seeing flops, but it is hopeless to get allin with preflop.

KQs is a strictly drawing hand in this situation, and I believe a call or fold is best.
