Default Re: Playing KQ pre-flop

I play full ring, so if you're a shorthander, hopefully somebody else can tell you whats up.

I fold UTG, UTG+1 (occasionally will limp early if suited).
Limp UTG+2, MP1, MP2.
raise MP3, CO, button.

If raised ahead of you, use discretion when calling, as you could be dominated (especially when raise was in EP).

One thing about KQ is that it seems to be harder to play postflop than AK/AQ/AJ. If you brick the flop, you're still losing to A high, so be more judicious with your continuation bets.
