KQ utg middle of tourney

[Eaglesfan1]

we have a little debate here, I'm not sure if I should raise KQ utg at this stage in the tourney. Some people think raising here is the rite thing to do, some say just fold...once i do elect to raise, thats an automatic call here right?

Once you decide to raise, it's an immediate call, but I generally fold in this spot.

Clearly you have to watch out for KT and fold this one preflop.

insta-call this once you decide to raise. you have the chips to call, so use them.

Raising KQo here is very dependant on my table image and how loose/tight the table has been. Once you raised that's an auto-call.
