Please use a converter. There are several links in the FAQ.

Opponents stack sizes are helpful. Limping or raising preflop is OK. Bet more on the fop, 100 is too small. You aren't extracting a lot of value from worse hands and you give odds for someone with an overcard or second best hand to catch up. On the turn with the min-raise from the shorty, you pretty much have to put your chips in the pot.

well you played KQ from EP and flopped your K or Q and stacks are too shallow to not go broke to a beter kicker or a flopped two in a 180, unless he has like an obvious draw that hit or something, or a raise and a reraise in a multiway pot. Stack off. I'm prolly just open folding here, prolly raise from hijack though.

why would you open limp in 2nd pos with KQo ? If you intent on bullying and using that big stack, please raise [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].
Anyway, once the flop comes I think it would define your hand better to check raise the flop unless you are hoping for a b/r/rr scenerio where you think you have the villain dominated.
Also, there is t360 in the pot and you bet out 100, which looks to me (knowing your hand) like you are trapping for a raise/reraise.
Conclusion: IF you play this hand the way you played it preflop, check raise the turn to be able to get away from it IMO.

This whole hand is played poorly

Preflop: Open-fold or raise to 90.

Flop: Fine

Turn: Terrible, just call. Or raise to 1000-1200 but fold to shove. I prefer call.

I don't like the EP limping - you're the big stack so open with a raise except if you plan to re-raise but therefore your hand is too weak.

I don't like the flop bet - this is too small - you got top pair with second best kicker so bet out for value - would make it about 300.

Turn bet is also too weak for me i would make it 500-600 here.

As played here i would call the raise an lead out on the river (or as adam posted reraise 1000-1200).
