Playing KQo UTG from early, middle, and late position at a final table

[Mike_25]

When I play King-Queen offsuit early, it depends. From the first few hands, I watch who raises and sees many flops. Loose players, I know calls will come if I bet. Tight players, I check-call a cheap flop, seeing two cards. Middle position, I limp in sometimes if blinds are low, hiding strength. Late, I only play big pairs or high connectors, squeezing monsters between. Kings and queens live shortest then. Without an ace or jack, I must hit two pair, a flush, or straight fast. Often, I miss, my chips dwindling, cards taunting me. Got to know when to buck the odds and fold the queen.
