Inbred Royalty are Ruining the Ball

[Barcalounger]

Anybody have some advice for playing KQ suited? I checked out my PT and with a modest sample size of 800 SNG tourneys over the last 2 months they are by far my worst starting hand in terms of BB/hand. This one isn't quite as easy as dropping QT from the list of playable hands when I first started tracking.

My current general strategy -
Early game - play aggressive into unraised pot from late position, usually a 3BB raise. MP and EP are folds.
Middle game - open it up to a few MP raises.
Bubble - so dependant on other factors that it really doesn't matter what I type here.

I'm starting to think it's one of those hands that are just good enough to get me into trouble post-flop when I catch a little bit of it. How do you poker gods handle the bastard aristocracy?

Muck it early, the rest seems standard. Likely just a bad run, although postflop play is a huge factor.

I'd think it's a sample size issue. Your strategy sounds pretty sound, so unless you are chasing big-time I don't see how it can be such a loser in the long run.

Maybe limp with it early with EP and MP sometimes, depending on the opposition.

Cheers,
