I think playing KQ in EP is a marginal call, but not as clear cut of a fold as you make it. I agree with the logic of not playing it, but the problem is that there are so many inferior players that play stakes that they shouldnt these days and pay off top pair with bad hands. Obviously the reason to muck KQ is for siutations much like this. But do keep in mind the general quality of players at party before you say always muck this hand in EP, it depends on the table you are sitting at. If there are 2 people paying off rivers with 2nd pair or playing 10 10 the same way as UTG played AQ that hand, then your starting hands should be adjusted accordingly in my opinion. Again, i really think it is opponent dependant.
