KQs, less than 10BB, is this a fold here?

hey sorry for the crude format, I play on bovada and their hand history hasn't been available for download yet.

…..61127464

[Image Can Not Be Found]

Blinds: 600/1200 Ante: 120 (the hand replayer doesn't collect all the antes, that's why it looks akward)

Player that opened has been fairly active and doesn't get to show down a lot. I have been in push/fold mode for the past 2 levels. last couple of hands I had won with were AQo and KK, also have a pretty tight image. I find myself in this situation a lot. 17 from the money.

1. What are your thoughts on what to do here? Is this a fold?

2. What would you do with exactly 10BB?

3. If this is a fold, what range of hands would be shoving here?

Thanks!

Not a pro, so I am saying what my thoughts are prior to feedback…

1. It's a certainty that you are getting called here by raiser if you shove (your image is not relevant). The BB might even get cute and call or reship. 17 from the money is still pretty far away, you cant fold your way there. You only have 4 hands until another BB comes by. I think I ship here based on you saying opener range is wide.

2. If I have 10 Bigs ($13k?), then I at least have some fold equity. But I would rather shove “first raise” and not with KQ which may run into AK/AQ.

3. The bottom of my shove range is about 88, and this KQs.

I'm never folding this spot with 10BB. However, if I'm reading this picture right, you only have 5BB?? You can't fold KQs with 5BB. You can't really fold 89s with 5BB.

Bubble is way too far off to even be concerned with that implication.

Thanks guys. I didn't fold, he had A10o and it held up for him. I was just wondering because I knew I was behind but I had to make a move.

Thanks!

Yeah, I'm going with this one. Way too much in the pot to fold, KQs plays too well for that. GL!
