Default Re: Got knocked out following HOH advice

At a tight table, though, I open this KQs for a standard raise of 2.5-3BB, and fold to a reraise.

I think it is OK to raise 2.5xBB, but I would call a reraise. You have big pot odds at this point, and a reraise could be JJ or maybe a resteal.

You could limp or miniraise and decide what to do if you get action. If you miniraise, you could call or fold to a reraise based on the opponent and his position.

The push with KQs from mid position with no ante is EV+, but it is not hugely EV+. You will bust out a lot, but you will bust out a lot if you play the hand other ways. I think the push is best, but a miniraise is playable.
