I play it passively as well...but I checkraise his stupid turn bet.

Is calling here with KQo the best decision with what looks to be no reads from anyone at the table? What if the 2 limpers raise behind you, you're not even closing the action pre flop, plus obviously in a terrible spot, likely multiway, post flop with a mediocre/decent hand.

As played CR turn looks like a good move to me too, but doesn't that mean we at least have to block bet the river being OOP?

fold pf

Calling PF is a leak. After that it's OK. I will often just call down if I think villain is silly enough to bet 3 streets with nothing and he looks weak here. Tough to get called by a worse hand if you raise but lots of draws so a raise on Turn would be fine also.

This is a good spot to 3-bet. flat calling hands like KQo/KJo OOP are not profitable unless you play really well postflop.
