No raise/fold pre is correct, and yes that is a valid reason - when you get 3bet and you're OOP, unless you're against someone that's super wide, then KQo should be an easy fold to 3bet... And yes, by doing this you avoid a lot of situations where you're OOP dominated by QQ+, AQ+. When you limp/call KQo, you're just asking to be in these spots 100% of the time cards are dealt that way.
My policy is that I almost never limp except in situations where I think a limp/RR is likely, or in situations where IO just feels too good to fold and my hand too weak to fold (like maybe I'd overlimp 57s or 44 OTB). I think getting rid of a lot of your limping range is in general a good idea... Unless you want to have a balanced/merged limp/rr range, I think arguments can definitely be made for that at a loose 1/2 game.
Basically KQo, KJo, QJo, QTo should never ever be played as a limp/call pre. And I'd say the same about the suited variants, though they can be a bit harder to fold to a small 3bet... Limp/calling is generally the nut low. I have never seen a player who is obviously a big winner in the game limp/call very much preflop.
AP, probably folding flop. Too much RIO and no IO, especially OOP. If you're drawing to a flush or pair on a monotone board, generally only do that with NFD, especially OOP. X/r/f feels a little bit better than x/c, but I think x/f is best.
AP, probably calling turn. You're getting good odds on a call, and I just don't see all that many bet/folds in V's range here.
