    Yes because you hand does very well against his opening range, but much less so against his continuing range to a 3b. Try to put him on an opening range and then take his 4b range as the top 10 or 15% of that range, and his calling range as the next 10 or 15%. You'll see that your KQs does not do well at all against his 4b range, and you'll have to fold it, and you won't do that good either against his calling range.

    Also when you just call his open, you are often getting some more value from the 70 or 80% of his range that he would have folded to a 3b (as he probably cbets a good part of that range when you check to him on the flop), and you can often make his life hell with flop check/raises and floats as hands like KQs often flop equity even when they don't hit directly.
