KK interesting spot preflop

HJ: $25
CO: $25
BN: $26.25
SB: $26.34 (Hero)
BB: $26.39
UTG: $9.75
Preflop ($0.35) (6 Players)
Hero was dealt K K
UTG folds, HJ folds, CO folds, BN raises to $0.62, Hero calls $0.52, BB raises to $2.75, BN raises to $5.63
[Why i choose not to 3bet - very wide BTN opening range, i was a little bit card dead on that table, and aggressive BB who i assume will spot this perfect squeeze spot]

Different scenarios:
1. BB squeeze, BTN folds - call is best option, yes?
2. BB squeeze, BTN calls - raise is best option, yes?
3. BB squeeze, BTN 4bets - ?

1. raise and get it in.
2. raise ya.
3. kinda sick but I think I d still go with it. I d expect btn to go with it with AK,QQ+. If bb folds all but KK+ you probably pick up enough dead money i think. Idk the math on the spot is pretty complicated.

Fwiw I don t really like calling in sb ever vs btn raises and esp minraises unless theres idk some very very very specific reason like idk the biggest spewmonkey ever was in bb. You just give bb odds to continue so so wide and your not going to be tricking anyone postflop being OOP to 2 players. Just 3 bet the btn with any range your playing here. If btn isnt giving you action well awesome you can now widen your range and steal more btn raises. Giving bb like 4.5-1 and position on you is not worth whatever trickery you have in mind.

3. is not that sick, we still beat his range, he might be 4betting this w/ hand like AQ, TT+ just to take the dead money, he probably knows that BB is full of shit here a lot. But we probably will look insanely strong /w just cold calling this 4bet, and shove might look like some kind of PP, like JJ.

Yes in general standart is to 3bet, but i really feel that this is a good spot to call here. BTN range is so wide [at that moment he was stealing like 75% from BTN, and BB is a typical aggressive player /w stats like 22-20, and over 15 resteal, though small sample. He will squeeze like almost always if he spot the general tendancies, and he would be correct :)

I was thinking that if he squeeze, btn folds, we should call and keep his air range, especially with KK, i would 4bet hand like TT, because boards can be more scary then. Now the only thing that could be bad is of course the KK magnet, Axx board, which hits his range a lot. Other then that i think calling would be best for overall EV, more thoughts?

Ya idk. 3 bet yourself. Calling in sb is a huge leak imo in this spot. Ya ok you ll get some squeezes but your giving bb the price to call with nearly ATCs. You can go on and on about the dynamics here but in my opinion calling is almost never correct here. If button is opening 75% and folding to 3 bets a lot (70-75%) then 3 bet him relentlessly. Unless of course the bb is cold 4 betting you a bunch which he is obv correct to do now that KK isnt 100% in your 3 betting range.
