I assume we're 3-betting KQs as a semi-bluff? If so, it was in our game plan all along to fold, even when it's a min4-bet.

HU, I'd totally agree with a KQs 3-bet. With the SB calling though, flatting seems the better option. We get great pot odds and KQs plays well. It's a pity that we have to throw such a good calling hand away vs. a 4-bet.
I would squeeze with something a little bit worse (ATs, KJs, hands like that).

The squeeze is fine. (Calling is fine too, obv).
I'm really not sure what to do about the tiny 4-bet though. The pot odds mean you only require 24% equity, I think, but I wouldn't feel comfortable even if I flop top pair, so making the nitty fold is probably best.

I always squeeze vs a full stacked fish but at 30bb I think it's bad. Fish will have less than a psb left otf, we will have a ****ty decision otf or might get jammed on pre. Just call.
As played tilting spot, sick odds but severe reverse implied odds as well, I think I call ingame but folding seems better

While I'm sure this is a joke, but just in case for anyone else who can't see it, this is NOT what you should be focusing on when deciding whether to fold or call...
