need more info, but like 99% of the time, yes- too loose.

are you not calling this because your worried about domination?
i think preflop its questionable, but after that it looks alright.

I know it is hard to fold a decent offsuit hand like KQo, but you have to in this spot. The possibility that your dominated is just way to great absent any reads.

Yes, fold preflop.

But there were limpers up front. LP raise does not always indicate a steal or a weaker hand. In fact, after a bunch of limpers you can expect CO to have two big suited cards, a big pocket pair (like Kings or Queens), or AK. Cold-calling with KQo is simply a no-no; if you really think the CO is full of [censored] then 3-bet.

You're not going to see isolation raises often enough at this limit to make cold-calling with KQo a good idea. If you're that confident he's raising light, then 3-bet him; otherwise, fold and wait for a better spot.
