Reads on BB?

Tough spot, doubt you can go wrong (i.e play in a -EV manner) with any option besides 3bet/f. Whatever sizing you make it likely commits you (if you make it 8bb and he jams you only need 30% equity to win) unless you go super small but then he can flat two napkins IP and own you so small sizing doesn't work too well here.

In terms of particular order, we likely don't get called by worse but that real value in this hand is: we block so much of his calling range, especially his nutted hands which we're doing the worst against (this is incentive to jam and deny as much equity as possible); and we have two overs to most pairs in his calling range (this is incentive to jam because we want to realize all our equity vs underpairs if he continues against us w/ those)

So I think it goes jam>3bet/call>flat>>>>>>>>3bet/fold

Almost always jamming vs. CO range here on 22 BB unless we think player is really tight. At somewhat bigger stacks I think I'd either call or 3-bet depending on dynamic.

Easy shove imo...you have a resteal stack in a std spot. I wouldn't put too much stock in the stats you have, or stats in general in good reship spots (with the exception of an uber-nitty RFI over a decent sample.)

There are marginal spots but SB v (40bb) CO is way too valuable in terms of EV*.

You also have what used to be known as the "Stars Nuts" (since KQ never loses.)

* can provide quantitative data to support upon request.

shoving SB, but curious as to whether 3b/fold might be better if Hero was on BTN
