I definitely don't hate calling preflop. KQs will play well heads up or multiway and you have position. If you're going to call off a pot sized bet on every street when you flop Kxy then sure it sucks and you deserve to be shown AK.

If you play it heads up with MP then you'll have an SPR of around 13 which is excellent. He'll have a hard time making large bets without a real hand and then you'll have options for extracting value or taking it down depending on the flop.

When you get more people along for the ride you're stuck playing it much more straight forward but the lack of 3bet means you are unlikely to be dominated.

When you see such a lovely flop against 3 other people don't get tricky trappy just start betting and see who wants to come for the ride. Individually they've probably only got a couple of outs to stack you but together that's a lot and you're pretty much always going broke when they hit so charge them/force them out early.
