    Footnote to the above;

    I just won that tournament. I almost certainly wouldn't have had I not doubled with my KQ in that key final-table hand above. As I said earlier in this thread we should be playing to win in MTTs.

    If your prefered style is to make nitty preflop folds to a single action with hands as strong as KQs you're in the wrong game, your mentality is probably better suited to DYMs.

    Well done Gary.

    But he gifted you that DU. It's an awful open size, and an awful call off. I'm not sure that one hand above proves any kind of point about KQ and how best to play it though.

    In Response to Re: 30BB am i better off to just wait for a hand with jamming potential than call 3xBB with this:
    Effective stack is only 20bb. Pretty hand. In position. I would be tempted to peel as well. Though it's probably just a fold pre, not really playing deep enough to make it worthwhile. Type of hand where we typically win a small pot or lose a large one.

    Well, you play your way and I'll play mine. I'm sure we'll both do well.

    Poker would be boring game if it was solved and there was a perfect play for every situation.

    Going back to OP I would call the flop!

    Or 3 bet the button. Never really folding here IMO
