Default Your usual move in this position?(downward slump)

I have been playing less thne subpar poker over the last week, wondering if this is the reason why.

I knew this would get tricky, but i felt like i couldnt just fold? I just raised on the pervious hand.

I would not mind hearing some comments about the KQ hand because I am lost when it comes to playing KQ when blinds are getting big with about 6-8 people left. Could anyone offer some words of wisdom?

Both of those situations give me trouble too.

I hate KQ in that situation. You probably are not ahead against most players there. I'd fold it, not very happily though.

The AJ hand sucks too. 400 in the pot and 150 to call with what might be the best hand, or a hand you might be dominated with. Does it make any sense to call this because of the pot odds and take a shot at the pot if you get a favorable flop? I think that's what I'd do with it.

Think im folding both hands about 90% of the time here. Sometimes I would consider calling in that AJ hand and raising the pot on the flop.

The main trouble i have is with KQ is im pretty much trying to do it as a steal, which i kno i should be pushing but dont feel comfortable going all in since i could easily not be a favortie against of lot of hands calling. I know im beaten once i get reraised, i just feel like folding KQ is plain awful.

Don't raise so much in hand 1. 250-275 has the same affect as 300.

As for hand 2, I'd probably call unless i had reason to think he would fold to a push.
