250/500/75
Hero dealt KK UTG +1 (stack is ~20k)

UTG limps
Hero raise to 2100
Folds to SB who calls
BB and limper fold

Flop QhJs4h
SB opens for 4k
Hero calls
Turn is 7d
SB bets 6k
Hero shoves and is called by SB with Q7

My question is if shoving the flop bet is better, I feel like I don't get called by worse (QJ and JJ are possible) thinking this is just a bad catch for me but wanted to hear any feedback.

Image at the table for hero is tight made some folds and definitely feel like I was perceived as bluffable

Definitely ripping in the flop. Over pair on a wet flop with ~9k in the middle and ~18k behind. You are for sure getting called by worse.

Shoving flop is ok but probably not optimal. I'd just be calling down mostly. K of h matters a littlr

I think we can jam here. SPR is <4 so we should be fine getting it in with an overpair. Yes, our opponents are going to have some JJ/QQ/QJ combos. However, they'll also have some top pair combos and draws as well that might feel obligated to call getting such a good price.

I don't think calling is terrible, although we have to be willing to get it in on the vast majority of turns.

Jam flop
You rep AK which seems enough vs dolts who lead flop there

Jam flop. But after call, I don't think you can shove turn once he fires second barrel. His range seems pretty wide with lead out flop donk bet. But turn bet sends off alarms.

That's what the guy leading Q7 here is going to put you on when he calls it off, yes. Even though we'd obviously never shove AK here that's not AhKh. Jam flop is great, don't let ugly turns come that'll slow his 1 pair hands down. If he has a legit draw then you don't particularly mind taking it down or getting all the money in either.

Made my heart hurt! If you run into QJ or 44 here sorry but this is a jam all day long. Didn't read the rest.
