I'd raise - against a loose player like this your KQ looks good, but you don't want to play it OOP - so i don't like a call here. from CO his range can be very wide, but i would set him to something like

equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 52.580% 49.35% 03.23% 527337152 34472282.00 { 77+, A7s+, K9s+, QTs+, JTs, ATo+, KJo+, QJo }
Hand 1: 47.420% 44.19% 03.23% 472195980 34472282.00 { KQs }

so I'd make it about 9k - easy to call if he shoves, and you have good FE, cause he knows he has to play for his stack.

I shove here. Maybe go &amp; go is as good/better/slightly scarier. Don't think it makes much difference. KQs is doing pretty well against his range &amp; he probably folds some Ax crap &amp; some low pairs so you have enough FE for this to be +EV. Calling and playing OOP isn't great so shove is best imo.
