Re: Betting strategy for this somewhat marginal holding
Fold preflop.
As a limit player myself, I struggled with hands like this when I first started playing SNGs as well. But in limit you might lose a few bets, in NL you can easily lose your stack with dominated hands like KQ. Early on in a SNG its not worth the risk. As the blinds get bigger you will have to run with KQ and worse, but there is no reason to early on.
The key to the first few rounds is basically to survive and be ready to play when the blinds get big. By splashing around early you lose valuable chips which represent important folding equity later on.
