Should only be $40 in the pot on the flop (8 times 5). Turn bet is a tad small into a pot that would be $130, I prefer a size like $85-95. River sucks, but we only need to be good ~22.3% of the time so it seems like a call.

What are the suits of your KQ, it matters for the river, kind of (in practice probably just always folding is best)

Bet more on turn.

River I think we can comfortably fold as played or jam if we have the Qh. Calling is the worst option. We are up against AQ/AK, JT, and some Qxhh all day here. I doubt he's bluffing T9 Qx J9 type hands ever or has ATss type enough to make calling good.

Can’t imagine raising against someone bad enough that I would consider calling in the first place. He can have worse two pair, AJ/AT, and some bad Kx that prefers to just bet. Clearly you can lose but can’t fold - more ott too.

Tank called and villain flips over J10.

Is this an automatic fold pre for you? I'm assuming a lot of posters with less skill than yourself will want to play this hand despite being utg. I snap fold this 9 handed fwiw but I'm a rec-fish.

I mean at weak-passive tables you can make it work, but you're not missing out on much by folding KQo from EP. At tougher tables you really have to be careful opening too wide from EP because you get 3-bet too often and this just becomes unprofitable.

Fold preflop, fold river.

Clearly $8 is not big enough when opening from EP.

As played I'd raise bigger on flop and I'd go 3/4 of pot on turn.

Just fold river, you beat 0 value and someone always has J10, plus he can have random hearts

KQo can fold utg + 1, if you wanna open 4x is pretty bad sizing

Way bigger ott

+1 for fold pre. Needs to be a very nitty/passive table of basically all OMCs for me to want to open this in EP.
