I would have just folded KQo in EP. I do think the fold to the re-raise was the right decision. The only hand you are ahead of at that point is a worse king, which was unlikely to re-raise there.

KQ is a hand I will open raise with in late position, maybe open limp with in mp, but fold in ep.

not the easiest hand to play in that position,for me it would highly depend on how your table is playing,i would only open raise utg with this hand if everyone is playing pretty tight,with this hand i often like to open limp,since many will fear the aa utg open limp,then it's highly depended on the action you get. i think it would be awfully tight to fold kq here as suggested,but i certainly could if i was on a table that always raised or reraised in late position.
i think your play was reasonable,and when things are going well it works out just fine,and i certainly fold as you do to a push,i hate kq all in,seemingly plays worse then any other hand for me,i'm sure that's just my imagination,LOL!
