Opponents & image are important. It's an easy fold when we're tight and V is a nit or super passive. Pay attention to how often opponents raise postflop.

When we raise pre and see a Q72r flop, we should be more willing to get stacks in with KK than with AQ. Partly because we beat AQ rather than chop with it, and partly because it blocks fewer top pair hands.
Selected range is just for demo purposes, but you get the idea:
Equity
53.40% QQ, 77, 22, KQs, AQo
46.60% KdKs
69.47% QQ, 77, 22, KQs, AQo
30.53% AdQs
