early, how to play KQ ? Common situation

[Ryendal]

Common situation, we are 8 at the table, blinds are 10/20 and I get KQ from MP or LP, and I CALL ( even without limpers).

I do not raise often. What do you think ?

[Unknown Soldier]

I wouldn't consider raising here, I usually fold this. I think limping is fine too though. if it's suited and there are a few limpers behind I limp too, but KQ is usually a fold for me.

[KPL]

Without limpers, I muck in EP and raise in LP (CO or button). With limpers, I limp in LP.

[RexWoo]

If blinds are 10/20, it probably does not really matter what you do with your KQ in MP/LP.

[wiggs73]

I generally either raise of fold this hand depending on position and whether or not the pot has been opened.

[tigerite]

Indeed, agreed with wiggs. KQ is trash most of the time anyway.

[Mike MacIntosh]

I deposit KQ into the muck pile early on. It will get you into a lot of unnecessary trouble early on.

I play AJ about the same way ...

Eventually with these hands I am ready to take no more than 200 if I hit Top pair. I can't really feel good early to play theses hands like I have the nuts.

I should have mentionned AJ in my OP.

[tigerite]

Er, but AJ is about a million times better than KQ here. For a start, you're crushing all the mid aces that donks limp with. They're not alike at all.
