They recommend playing more hands in loose games, especially suited hands, especially with position when you can get in for one bet pre-flop. Kxs and Qxs are in the same family here.

I look at Qx suited as being quite a bit worse than Kx suited and Q7 or Q8 suited to be quite a bit better than let's say Q3. I don't have the latest S&M(&M) books with me but my memory is they looked at Qx suited as being quite marginal. In my condition, I like to fold marginal [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

They also say you play it because you are going to play it well post-flop, which means sometimes letting it go when you flop top pair.

My experience is that when top pair is a queen you are far more often going to be in a spot where you have to fold it to substantial action in front of you (compared to a king).
Understand this thread is mostly about post flop play but I read it late when I was very tired so just concentrated on what came to mind.
