Overall the table has been pretty loose passive, and pelple are calling PF with a lot of trash, especially the BB. I'm most curious what people think about raising PF, I consider KQ to be a pretty marginal holding in EP, but I can always be recalibrated. I've been reluctant to raise some hands from the blinds like KQ,AJ,KJ and am not sure if it's a leak or not. I think the other streets are pretty standard, but if anyone has comments I'd appreciate them.

Maybe if there was only one limper preflop i raise to get BB to fold and isolate him.

Lots of people limp their big pairs in early poition though and i don't think KQ can stand a reraise.

I think i'd play it the same way as you, interested in any other suggestions
