I play all of them UTG in the 15/30 game and according to PT I'm winning .46 bb/h with AQo, .41 with KQs and .28 with 99.

Out of curiousity, how many hands do you have from each. I tend to alternate between folding and raising with AJo and KQo UTG. Meanwhile, I limp/raise probably 70/30 with AJs and KQs UTG.

I do not limp with KQo or AJo and tend to fold/raise in a 50/50 ratio depending upon the game and my image (I tend to stay if I'm winning).

I just don't like either hand too much UTG due to the fact that if someone with a 10% or lower PFR raises, I am usually down to at least a 30% shot at winning with all 5 cards and I don't like this situation b/c I must either hit or steal from a hand that missed like AK. These hands just beg for domination and you are OOP.

I also tend to chunk this hand in laggy games b/c I hate this hand for multiple bets preflop and I am OOP, which basically means I am SOL unless I hit and I am still vulnerable unless I hit it hard.

I like the suited version much better (I know, I know) but it gives me another way to win.

Just my two cents.

KQs is an absolute monster in these types of games.

Are you sure this advice wasn't nolimit? In a high stakes no limit game you should be folding KQs and AQo although you can probably mix it up between calls and raises with 99. I've never heard of anyone advocating folding 99 and AQo from early position in a limit game.

"In a high stakes no limit game you should be folding KQs and AQo"

I suppose you mean tight/tricky game?

I usually assume mid-high stakes NL tables (3/6 and up) are fairly tight. If the table is loose and horrible you can go ahead and start playing AQo and KQs utg, but folding is definitely my default play.
