Hey Batsogne87... could you please give me a timestamp and concrete examples? There are various reasons why I choose to flat from the SB vs. 3b.

• I like flatting the KQ from the SB because when we squeeze we are OOP in a bloated pot with a disadvantage vs. villain's range. Maybe we can squeeze with some frequency vs. different archtypes (super loose UTG opening range) but without a hud and such limited information it becomes even more difficult than normal to discern villains UTG tendencies.
• Flatting the SB with AKo is also my higher frequency strategy vs. UTG and no other callers, especially deep. Benefits include: protection vs. BB squeeze, we increase the strength of our flatting range, vs. an aggro villain he will often rep our hand on favorable boards. Times I will 3b are: Villains who open too much UTG and over defend, recreational villains, Villains who may perceive me as being much looser than I am, etc.

Thanks man, appreciate it!

Thanks man ... as always in poker, your strategy depends on your player pool.
