It sounds to me like you generally overvalue/overplay KQ (or used to at least) if you are losing lots of money with it. KQ is a pretty good hand in certain situations and that is about it. It is not the kind of hand you should wet your pants over. UTG, I fold KQ most of the time (unless it's soooted!!). It is easily dominated by so many hands. It is a horrible raise calling hand without a good read to back it up. Do not STOP playing it though. That is not the answer. For now, I would reccommend only playing it carefully in late position, and see how that works out. It's not the kind of hand you just want to stop playing altogher. But, it is behind Ax technically so be careful with it. If you play it more cafefully in better spots you should be making money with it.
