What should I have done for 2 bets back to me?

Hmm...this is why I'm a proponent of raising KQo there, to get control of the hand, and build up the pot

One of them is clearly on a flush draw, but what might MP2 have?
QJ is a possibility, as is a weaker queen.
Or a flush draw and a pair is always a possibility as well

It's tough, but I think you can lay this down here, as you only have 5 outs to improve with

easy laydown considering the MP2's stats. what's confusing me is, how on earth someone has a 2.0 ag factor w/o raising PF, kinda odd if you think about it
Emptyeye
Yeah, pretty easy fold in the face of a 3-bet. MP1's raise isn't much to worry about--yeah, he might be raising on an AQ or something, but he could also have a draw (Having the hindsight of the entire hand playing out, I'm guessing this is what he was on), or a weaker queen, or god knows what--but MP2 is bringing the goods if he's 3-betting.

ALSO: I agree that KQ is a raise-or-fold pre-flop hand. You really should've raised it out of the small blind, though I don't think it would change much in this instance.
KDawgCometh
I'll say this much, that is the perfect flop to CR from the small blind. This is why you sometimes just complete w/KQo. If it's only one bet the CR that bitch and only slowdown if you get a strong read on someone
