I'm not OOP, he raised from BB.
Agreed that KQs is often a fold pre but in this case his 3-betting range is wide enough that I thought it's worth taking a flop.

How much value is he missing out on though? It's not like I'm going to pay off a b/b/b line with 99 in a 3-bet pot.
If he checks, my pairs will probably take over the betting for him *and* he gives me a chance to bluff with my unpaired hands. Probably the river is the only spot I'd be surprised he checked AA/KK.
