playing this UTG is crazy

How's it "crazy"? What's your range utg then at this level? And if it were AK no club you would play the hand allin? I don't really think KQ is that bad late in the tournament; nobody smooth calls preflop with AK or even AQ this late. If I get reraised preflop I'm done.

Why even play it for a raise then? Late in a tournament, you have to pick your spots. UTG aggression is a recipe for disaster with a marginal hand. My UTG range here would be TT+, AQs, AK. I'm never limping UTG. You just set yourself up for difficult decisions on the flop and later streets, and if you show any weakness at all OOP, a thinking opponent's gonna scoop up the pot.
