1. Bad super-lag (60/30 over several hundred hands) opens and gets a call from a fairly straight forward player. Squeeze good w/ KQ?

Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $4 BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

BB ($746.40)
UTG ($353.30)
MP ($522.70)
CO ($400)
Hero ($385.50)
SB ($167)

Preflop: Hero is Button with K, Q.
1 fold, MP raises to $14, CO calls $14, Hero raises to $65, 2 folds, MP calls $51, CO calls $51.

Flop: ($201) J, 7, 6 (3 players)
MP bets $68, CO folds, Hero folds.

Final Pot: $201


2. Pretty much the same spot as above. Bet out HU postflop. Thoughts?
Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $4 BB (5 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver Cards)

Hero ($402)
BB ($400)
UTG ($485)
MP ($406.30)
Button ($559.20)

Preflop: Hero is SB with , .
UTG raises to $16, MP calls $16, 1 fold, Hero raises to $74, 1 fold, UTG folds, MP calls $56.

Flop: ($166) , , (2 players)
Hero bets $120, MP raises to $334.3 (All-In), Hero folds.

Final Pot: $191.70

I never squeeze KQ. Better to squeeze hands like 97s which are much easier to play post flop in my opinion. I especially don't like it vs someone with a 60 VPIP as you will likely end up in a large 3-bet pot w/ a marginal hand, and very few ideal flops.

In general, i think i agree with the idea of not 3betting K-Q. However against someone who is so loose (seemingly loose also in 3bet pots) aren't we confidently felting TP since he could easily have a weaker kicker?

Yep, if the raiser is loose and attempt to steal is over 30%, our kicker is not really a problem. If he calls and we hit any pair we're happy to stack off.

Against a nit, 97s would be better imo.
