I am kind of torn on this one. I hate calling all ins with KQ if I still can reach 20bbs with a double up after folding in non-turbo tournaments, call may be correct  though. Seems like you run into Ax enough to make this -ev as villian should be shoving his entire range. Folding seems nitty, interested to see what others say, but I am in the very very close fold camp. I wish I didnt see the rest of the hand lol. I had the EXACT same hand happen in the 70k in the last 2 tables when I reshipped 24bbs with KQ over a LAG button raise and got it in ve AJ and I flopped broadway for him to river a boat.

The depends on the villians steal % and other HUD stats IMO.  You can't just blindly call a random here every time.  If you know the villian is shipping 40%+ in the SB as a steal when folded to, then yes it's a call, but you will still only be a 53% favorite vs his range.  +EV yes, and you have to be willing to live with results if you lose.

If I have <20BBs I call this without much thought, but we have over 25BBs here – I definitely fold and find a better spot. Much better to be the one raising/shoving rather than calling off a lot of chips with a drawing hand where we could even be slightly behind (e.g. against A2o). I'm unsure of the range of hands the SB is shoving as posted by nuklearwintr. Is SB really risking 25BBs and half of his stack with 40% of hands?

baring any reads on the shover it's hard to say with any certainty if calling here is good.

i'd snap call here against any decently aggressive opponent. against someone shoving correctly you should be calling as low as KTo and A6o, QTs and K9s, which i found surprising tbh. when i opened the thread i figured this had to be a fold given we have 25BB.

that being said, there is definitely something to be said for passing this spot given certain table dynamics. like if you are accumulating well by stealing blinds and restealing over light opens and not being played back at really, then i could see passing on this spot. but in general i'd call here.

Never calling off my stack with KQ here.  Yeah it looks like a complete over jam but you enough chips to work with yet.  No need to panic…
