KQ is the biggest trap hand in the game, IMO. I fold it in early position.

Really the only time I play it is when I'm in LP and there are a lot of limpers in front of me or when I can open the action from MP or LP at a tight table.

Then again, I'm a nit.

there are antes in the 2nd hand.

1st hand is def a fold imo, we're in early pos, there's no antes.

2nd hand, if villain has been really active and opening alot from MP than I don't think there's anything wrong w/ shoving here. If we take it down pre we increase our stack by almost 1/3 and if he's been aggressive KQ isn't in bad shape if he does call.
If villain's been tight and not been opening from MP at all, then I think folding is fine.

I don't think I'd fold hand 2 pretty much ever here.

Readless, I'd snap shove hand 2 happily.

If villain was opening up an average amount... I'd shove.

If villain was nitty... I'd shove and close my eyes.

I hate KQ more than anything...
That said, being a shove monkey, I'm pushing the all-in button in each of these spots.
