Re: KQo in EP
I like raising KQo early. As you said, control, AND there are still fish who will cold call, AND KQ hits a lot with low risk of domination, AND the flop usually results in an easy read about being ahead or behind. Look at the # of people who cold call you. Are there really 3-4 aces out against you every time? Or is everyone folding every time? Neither statement is true all the time. Adjust to your current conditions.
I know online is tight and I play live, but I love KQ because of its high "hit" factor and ease of finding an exit should that A hit. Raise with AT-AQ and you always have a little doubt about AK behind you somewhere. I think it is relatively easy to play this hand well.
And if you really want to mess with people's heads, raise KQo UTG and UTG+1 and LIMP AA from UTG (only).
