Should I have played this any different?

See I was thinking I shoulda pushed it on the flop, since there was no preflop raise the only hand I was worried about was J/10.

Any thoughts on this one anyone? Should I have just folded pre-flop? Since I did play the flop should I have pushed the flop? Not barring results what do you think was the right move?

Once again, the suckness of KQo is demonstrated.

I've grown pretty adverse to this hand as I seem to have a nasty habit of losing my stack with it when I flop two pair.

That being said, in this situation I would have overbet the pot on the flop, and hoped "IT" didn't happen again.

The only mistake I think you made was betting too small on the flop. Make a pot sized bet or greater here. Too many draws. If villian calls a big bet here than he's going to take all your chips. Can't get away from this one.

Well what about just folding preflop? Would that have been alright? I have terrible position and the hand can be beaten by alot of hands. I could have just saved my chips to have more fold equity later.

I do not have any argument with folding this pre-flop, and will often do so.

I don't see any reason to fold this. Your chip position isn't horrible and you're in the small blind. Bet your 2 pair bigger next time.
