Re: the \'k\' side of a KAA flop
[ QUOTE ]
Unless you're up against a complete maniac, capping with KQo is a good way to lose all of your money.
Think about it ... you have to put a 3-bettor on JJ-AA, or AKs, and all of those hands are LRR-type hands at these levels. Three of those hands totally dominate you (KK-AA, AKs) and QQ gives you 3 outs. Only against JJ do you have any sort of real chance to play this after the flop.

I'm not sure I've ever actually capped with KQo, for a lot of the reasons you mentioned. I just wondered if it was ever a good idea. I'm usually suspicious of a short stacked player limp/re-raising. It most often seems to mean that they're taking a shot at what looks to become a decent sized pot -- frequently with Ax or Kx. And though I didn't mention it, UTG is not someone whose EP limp implies strong cards.
In any case, point taken.
