SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has K

Hero raises to 2 BB, fold, fold, BTN raises to 3 BB, fold, BB calls 2 BB, Hero raises to 14 BB, BTN raises to 45.5 BB, fold, fold

Do we call?
Do we shove?
Or is folding here fine?

I'd just get it in vs 92bb player who legit min clicks.

Not thrilled, but theres like three different things here that tells you it's a whale, and whales are kind of capable of anything.

Assuming you have 0 fold equity you're shoving an additional 78bb and pot will be (92+92+3+0.5) = 187.5 meaning to break even from this decision point (and win 78bb back) you'd need 78/187.5 equity or 41.6% (doesn't count rake). Vs a very tight range of KK+, AKo/s you have 40%. vs QQ+, AK, you have 42%, and add any single combo of spew and you're good and anything more than that is big print.

Folding is so terrible, even just calling the minraise is better than this.
