My plan was at first to call on the flop and then jam if there wouldn't come another one spade, because I put villain on Asx. I also thought that I would fold if there comes another spade and villain bets small, but this jam made me thinking about bluffing. And of course it wasn't :D How would you have played this one? Any comments?
Thanks already!

Shove or fold pre. As played, the mindonklead usually is a blockbet for FD's of other weak equity hands like OESD's etc. Just raise/GII, result would be the same. I see no plus-side on calling flop.
Isn't shoving with KQ UTG pre little too loose? My purpose was to collect blinds or play depending who takes a step against me. On the other hand i think KQ is pretty good to open here and A5-A9 should throw their cards away. Folding pre sound little too tight in endgame?
If I had 3BET all in on the flop, I see no way that villain would throw his/her cards away, even thoug shoving would be slighlt +EV on the flop.
The problem is stacksize distribution on the table. Nearly every stack is a reshove one, so opening for stealing purposes is prob gonna be a bad idea. I think 14.5bb is fine w KQo utg, it does very well in showdowns anyway. Raise folding of that stack w all them reshove stacks is burning money, especially when ure going to the blinds next hand, so effectively you're losing 3,5bb, rather than 2.
You can jam over her lead and expect a call here, and surely is mega +EV, not slightly.
Ok, thanks for replying. I think you are right about jamming pre. But which option do u think is better, to jam or fold? Our stack isn't so deep, and blinds are coming in next hand, so maybe tryin to double up now is better option than after blinds?
Min raise pre is fine, calling the 1bb flop lead if u had Qs would be ok, but default raise (even with Qs) over such a small bet. As played, get stacked.
I agree its fine, but i dont wanna be raise/folding, there too much.
Koon nailed it. It's min raise or fold IMO... If I'm right this looks like the 2.70 turbo KO. In which case at this point I imagine you're on an above average stack.
Agree though that you need to get it in on the flop.
Push or fold pre in this situation IMO.
Min raise pre is fine but I shove my two pair to his min flop bet with your stack if he has a draw well he still as to hit so you get your money in good
wen u min pre are u calling a shove from similar stacks which they all pretty much are? or raise folding?
