why does anyone ever play KQo?

[Nate_Dogg]

It's an either or hand. You want to play it heads up for TP value or in a family pot for 2 pair/straight value. Calling UTG is not profitable in my opinion. Post flop you have to show some aggression. This was a perfect spot to check raise on the flop. You can pick up a fairly nice pot w/ a raise of $125 or so. If he calls then you put him on AK and give it up. Notice that this is what you called on the turn anyway so its not any more expensive than your actual line. I think you got bluffed out of your socks by AQ or worse.
