In that situation it's a strategic fold, without it been suit-connected to see the flop or paired to 4 bet, might not be worth the risk.monkeytilter said:
I would think that a min raise would not prove effective as the blinds are both somewhat invested therefore I would at least raise 3BB and if reraised then consider fold or Jamqb93 said:
With 25BB on the button, I’m almost always min-raising KJo. It’s strong enough to open, but too strong to turn into an open-shove and too good to fold. Min-raising keeps weaker hands in, risks fewer chips, and gives you more flexibility postflopqb93 said:
A 2bb open it would be ok. If SB and BB are -12BB I think you could put some pressure and push.qb93 said:
Ah u apparently already know the answer.qb93 said:
With 25BB on the button, I’m usually min-raising. KJo is too strong to fold and too strong to turn into a 25BB open shove. I’d rather keep weaker hands in, use my position, and make decisions postflop. Of course, stack sizes in the blinds and ICM considerations could change thingsqb93 said:

I completely agree. At 25BB, KJo is much too strong to open-shove from the button. A min-raise keeps our range balanced and gives worse hands the chance to continue. Against a non-all-in 3-bet, I'd usually call in position versus reasonable sizing. Against a shove, I'd make my decision based on the opponent's tendencies and stack sizes, since KJo can become a close spot versus a tight player.monkeytilter said:
I would definitely open with a min-raise. Folding KJo on the button at 25BB is too tight, and open-shoving risks losing value against weaker hands that would call or defend versus a small raise. Unless there are strong ICM considerations, I think raising is the most profitable play.qb93 said:
