Re: KQs against an unknown raiser. Preflop question
If you go by SSHE, the pf raising range for early position is TT+,AJs+,AQo+. These are the PS results for AJs against the raiser's range.

The problem with AJs is that you are dominated by so much of the raiser's range. The suitedness is not worth the complete 6% (chance of making a flush) of equity because of the times you will not be able to correctly call a bet on the flop. Even if you get a few players to follow you into the pot, you will not achieve your fair share of equity.
If you have reads that the UTG raiser will raise with a very large range of hands I believe the best thing to do is to 3-bet. Fold out an AQ or even another AJ. Do not give the BB great odds to play his hand. You are better off getting the dead money.
