NL100 KQ top pair

[DWarrior]

I'm borderline nit 18/14, and I open raise KQ from any position :\

RAISING KQs UTG 6MAX IS PRETTY DAMN STANDARD Y'ALL

Also, wouldn't we have a similar problem with AQ in this spot?

I think that I am ahead of all lower non paired hands, I dominate a lot of broadway trash, Im dominated by a few big hands and Im a coinflip against PP up to JJ.

i would be happy checking the river with a passive player, especially as the queen came out on the turn, if he had top pair on flop but didnt hit two pair on the turn i cant see him raising the river unless hes beating you, maybe imagine to see
a,j, k,j possibly q,j but scared to raise as it was a flush card...but unlikely.

A really freaking big one. High, suited, connected cards are premium hands. Not raising this at 6 max is a leak.

Edit, btw this hand is fine on all streets. Guy's a calling station.
