Re: KQo in EP
I virtually always raise KQo UTG in the live games I play in. I figure if the raise itself is 0 or slightly +EV, then the metagame considerations make it worthwhile. Some nitty weak players seem to think that KQ is a "trap hand" and when they see you raise UTG with it, they'll think you are much more aggressive/bad then you really are (I had one guy actually make fun of me for raising KQs in the CO after a couple of limpers!).
Plus if it really doesn't matter much whether you fold, raise, or call it (which is 2+2 consensus after much debate) then might as well raise, 'cause raising is more fun!
