Default Re: preflop with KQs

With the pot already 2/3 of your stack this is an easy push. Nobody has shown strength, and although unlikely, picking up the pot uncontested would be a huge boost to your stack. The EP limpers will fold very often, so it really only comes down to the range of hands that you put MP1, MP2 and CO on. This was really one of the worst case scenarios for you (other than AA or KK) since the caller had you dominated, and even so it was still almost a +EV move. A lot of times he'll not only be calling you with a hand that you are a coinflip against (with a ton of dead money in the pot), but pot odds will also lead him to calling with hands that you perhaps dominate, such as KJ or QJ, which would be more common limping hands than AQ in my opinion.
