Default Re: $20+2: How to play KQ from early?

KQ in the early levels is strictly a chip extraction tool for the donks who like to play weaker K/Q broadways and/or suited weak Kings and will call/bet reasonable bets down once they hit top pair regardless of their draw. This is where all the post flop extraction methods you see Unarmed/Irieguy posting about become very nice in order to make sure you are making the hands profitable.

As Zen mentioned, as long as you're playing KQ only in unraised pots, it is playable from any position. This is b/c you can discount your opponents' holdings to not include AQ/AK/AA/KK/QQ when there has been no pre-flop raise.

A similar line can be taken with AJ, IMO, for all the above reasons.
