Sounds a bit over the top.

I've seen a number of threads stating that even with AQo it could be correct to limp UTG.

KQ sucks, and sucks a lot if it's unsuited. It's one of those hands that only wins small pots and gets killed in dominated spots because people look at it as, "ooh, broadway connectors."

It's only worth playing in MP and for a raise.

i wouldnt go as far to say that.. KQo is actually one of my big nonpaired winners.. it's all about how you play it postflop.

KQo seems to do me well too.
I am up 25BB/100 over 827 KQo hands.

On the other hand (pun intended), KQs is a break-even hand.

Maybe it is just easier to get away from KQo. Haven't lost too many big hands with it.
