2/5 - limp reraise from ep with 200bb+ 2/5 - limp reraise from ep with 200bb+

hero sat down at a 2/5 table around an hour ago. bought in for max 500 now has 530.
lots of deep stacks at the table. big stack is 3k one is 2k. 3 stacks little over 1k.
2 more and hero around 500 and a short stack with 200.

example hand:
utg (relatively tag v with 3k) limps
utg+1 (seems lag not sure but probably not so good having 1200 odd) limps
one more limper in mp (500 odd stack. seems weak tight)
hero in co (520 played very few hands so might have rock image) raises to 35 with KcQc
btn(loose passive v with 1000odd) calls 35.
blinds fold
utg thinks for a moment and calls
utg+1 snap raises to 125.

there is now 242 in the pot. costs us 90 more to call. the btn and utg are yet to act. we will have 395 left (spr little over 1) if we call and others fold, less if they call or raise.

this is always AA or AK? issue is given depth of stacks for others esp sb once we call its 90 into 332 with 900+ left to bet which gives them enough odds to set mine.

thoughts?

You can't call. You aren't deep enough to call. Plus, there are still people behind you.
It's either fold or shove. Typically a l/rr is a huge pair, usually AA, I've seen a guy w/ QQ do it though. I'm typically folding, but it is possible to shove and show a profit, if you can actually put V on a range + if you have fold equity. That may be asking for too much though.

yeah, sucks to fold such a pretty hand but this is a trivial fold

you might be able to make the case for calling if you were 300bb+ deep and 2 other villains called and you would specifically looking to flop/turn gin (straight or flush)

but barring that, yeah this is a fold

this is almost exclusively AA/KK like 80% of the time and QQ/AK the remaining 20% of the time

regardless, these ranges/hands completely crush ours. If I were to call this l/rr i'd rather call with 65s than KQs

Like dgi mentioned, this is pretty much an instafold.

Against a superstrong limp/reraise range your going to valuetown yourself so many times with KQ, its in situations like this it become a massive RIO hand.

If a K comes out you will be raped by AK,KK or AA. If a Q comes out you will be raped by QQ, KK or AA. You see the picture OP

This comes from a player who like to limp/reaise with KK/AA himself, with quite good results. One of the reasons is that my opponents refuse to believe that i have a big hand when i do limp/reraise. They stack off with like KQ or KJ when they hit top pair, or they sometimes just ship preflop on me with like AJ or AQ for 150 BB. Dont be that player, limp reraises on live low stakes is pretty much never a bluff. Never.
