I think SC Kenny meant hitting the gut shot on the turn as u have already seen the flop. And yes the right play is to fold.

Preflop pot 300
Your cards:
KQo
You are on the button
Flop:
A 10 9 - rainbow
Action:
First position pushes all in for 1200 and it folds to you, you are last to act. You have 1200 in your stack. Total pot is now 1500.
What are your odds? Should you call?

Fold. You're too poor. You're only getting a bit better than even money if you win. The odds of your winning are terrible. Kenny is right, fold. Save your chips for a better spot.
Fold.
I will even spin this in another direction.
You have a 61% chance to miss everything. (no pair, no straight, no flush (obv) )

The chance to have top pair or better is around 19% - 4.12:1 against you.

Now I have seen loads of folks push all in with 4:1 odds and end up standing with roses. This is not usually a right move as most know and in this case I would argue the fact you don't have a an ace in your hand means you are prob already beat every other way save a hailmary ja
4 outs to the str8 x 4 = 16%
1200 to win 2700= 2.25 chips to 1 wagered or 40% of the pot to call (rough numbers)
ZERO implied odds
16%<40% = poor odds= donk call
Am I at least close????
What about runner runner KK or QQ or KQ? Thats 6 more outs!!!!
Thats 40%!!!!! Now???? Oh wait.......... its still a donk call
Maybe with a poor excuse like a mountain of chips........still a donk call
That is of course that he not holding AK, AQ, 10s, Aces or 9s......heck maybe even A 10 oh and the board doesn't counterfit with his ace making my KQ two pair no good.........why do you ask these hard questions and who plays those hands anyway........

the odds of hitting a gut shot on the flop is about 16% so the right play is fold.
