Default Was this just wrong? KQo preflop

5/10 6-max (6-handed)

UTG is a major LAG, MP is loose-passive, and BB is a normal guy.

UTG open-raised, MP coldcalled, and it folds to me in the SB with KQo. I 3-bet, BB is out, and the others call.

The flop comes 2-suited rags and I suddenly realize that maybe I didn't handle this so well. I have no appealing plan for playing this hand OOP versus a LAG PFR and an LP. In particular I'm not enamored with trying to prove that K-high is good by betting the flop and turn.

It occurs to me now that this fiasco was predictable and the fault is in my reraise. If I had just coldcalled I would have an easy hand to play:

1. Top pair, big kicker: checkraise the LAG and stomp on people.

2. Draw: checkcall or checkraise as warranted.

3. Missed: proceed to next hand or possibly peel the flop.

What do you think?
