Hi everyone, just wondering what approach is best in this spot?

The raise size struck me as strange but I though i was crushing the range of the CO with 1.5bb, I realise I had little to no fold equity against MP2 but with only 8bb myself i viewed KQs as a pretty premium hand to get it in with. Any help appreciated.

MP2: t42264 M = 6.13
CO: t4560 M = 0.66
Hero (BTN): t25157 M = 3.65
SB: t24198 M = 3.51
BB: t61548 M = 8.92
UTG: t15238 M = 2.21
UTG+1: t39544 M = 5.73
MP1: t57491 M = 8.33

Pre Flop: (t6900) Hero is BTN with K Q
3 folds, MP2 raises to t12000, CO calls t4260 all in, Hero raises to t24857 all in, 2 folds, MP2 calls t12857

Flop: (t60874) Q A J (3 players - 2 are all in)

Turn: (t60874) 5 (3 players - 2 are all in)

River: (t60874) J (3 players - 2 are all in)

what is the stats of MP2??

If Mp2 is very nitty, I am folding.
Other with most of the cases I am sticking it in as 8BB is too less, you have to go for a coin flip very soon and it is decent enough to go for it imo though FE is 0.

I would get in all day, if we aint playing the bubble. Flipping against pockets and ace rags

Any particular reason here Mikk? Do you push less often on the bubble if you think you're ahead to increase chances of min-cashing? I'm trying not to do this myself

Easy fold, range is crushed vs a 4x obviously.

With KQs and 8 BB I would love to shove if I'm first to act from any position, but right now we're a big underdog here vs MP2 4x raise and therefore it's the easiest fold ever.

+1 for ezz fold!

Note MP2 as a ****** and fold.

can't do this at final table without reads, u have to fold, if he shows up with crap then make a note.

This situation is reads based... since he's opening 4x it means he's horrible... and we're folding

i fold unless i have specific reads that mp2 can raise/fold here...but that shouldnt happen often

Never shipping over with KQs here over a 4x from middle. Snap fold.
