Two things.

1) Don't limp from UTG +1 with KJo. Just don't!

2) Thank MP1 for not betting the second nuts. While you're at it, thank BB for being a calling station.

Raise pre-flop.

Yeah, I realized that my first mistake was to play those cards in the first place. Oh well, though.

By the way, your avatar... it's... it's INCREDIBLE.

The proper play against a loose table (6 or more to the flop) is to raise KJ offsuit from early position. If you can't bring yourself to do that, then just fold.

Raising pre-flop is ok here. Because you have the late poster, there is more (potentially) dead money so your standards can go down slightly. (Without the late poster, I would normally fold.) In any case, anytime there is a poster, if you are first in you should strongly consider raising. (If you are the poster, this goes double.)

Post-flop is fine. Don't let it bother you.

Raising preflop with KJo UTG+1 is probably pretty neutral EV either way so whether you raise or fold, it probably doesn't matter much. Whatever you do, don't just call, which probably cost you the pot, as 9 10o would most likely have folded. The only other thing to do is PM MP1 and thank him for not raising you with the second nuts.

I fold KJo in this position.

edit: I just checked SSH for this. It's telling me to fold in tighter games and limp in loose games. However, I usually just fold it and wait till I get it in better position.
