Re: optimize profit/loss here
nh OP. aside from not raising pre, it's how I would've played it.
I think you did a good job of limiting your possible loss (if he had a better hand), but also you got some more chips from villain. If you had raised flop (hindsight being 20/20) villain would have folded without getting another bet out of him.
ssnyc, with one limper and being otb, I'm always raising kq here. KQ doesn't play well in some situations but this one, a raise most often takes down the pot pf or limper calls the raise and we're HU last to act. A situation where I wouldn't always raise KQ otb is if there are 3/4 chronic limpers who always end up calling a raise (because of the limpers my raise has to be 6-7bb and with multiple callers the pot gets juiced to the point where even though I'm in position, KQ still sucks).
