KQo raise preflop?

[JrJordan]

I've heard conflicting things about KQo. I had 2 limpers ahead of me with the blinds behind. Should I be raising to isolate because KQo doesn't do well multiway? Any other advice on the hand is appreciated. Thanks.

I also have trouble knowing what to do with KQo. But postflop you played that perfectly.

I'd raise preflop there most of the time. You have no reason to think you don't have the best hand after 2 limps and getting rid of the blinds would be nice. If they (the blinds) are particularly loose, then limping might be ok.

Post flop is fine.

2 Limpers I would normally raise unless I feared a raise behind me.

If I have 4 or more callers in front I just limp.
