I know I overplayed this, when do I hit the brakes?

Raise preflop.

I think the rest is ok.

Ah, no.

Raising early is table/opponent dependant.

I think you played this exactly right. I don't like raising UTG with KQo either and would rather call. Raising will not fold hands that will dominate you but they will fold hands that will lose to you. I'd like lots of callers for a change.

After that - it looks fine. You backed down on the river and that's OK.

Crap. I just naturally assume 2/4 or 3/6 when I open these.

So you would raise KQo in EP on a 3/6 table, but not on a 5/10 ?

Raise preflop.
Other play is fine.

You'd not want a late position taise preflop with KJ or other worse hand because now u have to hit your hand to be able to win.

I like the call pf, and I like the flop. I would just call on the turn. I don't want to be put to a 3-bet or even a cap really. If the river is a non-diamond non-T or non-A I bet and call a raise.

I'd be leading into the PFR on the flop. I'd call a flop raise. I'd lead again on the turn.

I really don't like this flop C/R. Since you didn't raise PF, donkbet the flop, get button to auto-raise and protect your hand, get your 3rd flop bet in and take it from there. We now know BB wasn't budging here, but under normal circumstances this will work.
