your hand beats there range and you dont mind people folding behind you. If people call behind you you will have a nice eq edge and often position

I don't think your equity is that great with KQo:

equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 51.358% 49.06% 02.29% 2691743556 125868018.00 { 55+, A4s+, K7s+, Q9s+, J9s+, T9s, 98s, A7o+, KTo+, QTo+, JTo }
Hand 1: 48.642% 46.35% 02.29% 2542742424 125868018.00 { KQo }
I would assume that most are going to fold for 3 here, but there is a good chance they would call for 2 (the BB for sure.)

That is if you get it HU. If you get it HU the pot will be 8 SB (say the small blind pays the rake) where you paid 3 SB. So if you get it HU against that range you just made a little less than 1 SB.
This will be even better if the limper calls!
Now add the SB's you will win because you have position, implied FE and a skill edge postflop.
Move up faster
Stop folding
3-bet more
