M of 4, Overcall with KJo?

[Duffryn]

MP1 was running 8/8 and had recently lost most of his chips when he got it in with AKo pre and A6s outdrew him. MP2 was a big 53/30 fish, but he hadn't been seen shoving before with complete trash, having shown down 88, 99 and QJo. As the blinds have yet to act, would you fold KJo, despite the low M and MP1's short stack?

I am hopeless at overcalling. If I have a small/medium pair, I worry that someone has a bigger pair and I will be toast. If I have two high cards, I think I will be toast because of domination or duplication (it often seems to be 55 vs AK vs AK). If both of these players outchipped me, then my range here would probably be TT+, AK, maybe AQ. Is this too tight?

I would fold KJ here. Your stack isn't great but I think you can afford to wait for a better spot.

As for your range, I think it really depends on the stacks. If they both have over 10bb, I mostly like your range. However, with your stack I don't know if you can fold AQ or 99. If I had over 10bb myself, I probably would though. (Obv it all depends on pot size and odds)

It's kinda close, but there's probably not enough junk (<KT, 98s, etc) in MP2's range to make this a call. A lot of the time he'll have Ax and be slightly ahead. An M of 4 is still a decent enough stack to steal with as well.

Thanks for the replies. It made me feel less weak-tight!

I don't know if it makes any sense but I would bet KJ there but I would not call with it.
