I raise or 3 bet AQo regardless of position in these loose b&M tables. However, I am not so sure anymore with my KQo unless its late position.

Maybe its my brain giving me wrong feedback here so I want some advice from you guys. When I am raising with KQo regardless of position then isnt it that I am hoping either a K or a Q to show up but not the A. because no one really respects the raises in these tables that much (i could be folding for 2 orbits and then raise UTG and still get 5-6 callers at least).

KQs is definitely raisable but i would like some advice with KQo. should i only raise it from CO and button or just never raise ?

and how about raising with AQo from SB or BB when 5-7 players have called. Am I just building the pot for everyone else.

However, I won a MONSTER pot with AQo just this weekend raising from the blinds when the flop came all in one suit and turn made my nut flush and the king and queen were both live and paid me off (after raising and 3 betting on river )

In a silly loose game, KQo and AJo become limps unless you're in late position and the pot looks like it's only going to be 2-4 way. You're giving up some pre-flop value, but by limping you make it eaiser to get in that extra bet (against passive players) with the best hand, easier to make a laydown and punish the bad flop calls via a smaller pot.

There is a reason weak/tight players move up into the middle limits. Because fit or fold works really well here.

I agree with what Fnord said for KQo. As for AQo always raise it has a big equity edge:

equity (%) win (%) / tie (%)

Hand 1: 25.9505 % [ 00.25 00.01 ] { AQo }
Hand 2: 14.8105 % [ 00.14 00.01 ] { random }
Hand 3: 14.8010 % [ 00.14 00.01 ] { random }
Hand 4: 14.7962 % [ 00.14 00.01 ] { random }
Hand 5: 14.7976 % [ 00.14 00.01 ] { random }
Hand 6: 14.8443 % [ 00.14 00.01 ] { random }
