    I've seen loads of people say "nits" etc to folding KQ UTG, but I've also spoken to/read/watched things from winning FR players who say KQ isn't in their UTG range...so it's up to people to decide how they want to play.
    something is either +EV or it's not. learning to play poker (which is what will dictate how much you make and whether or not you move up etc etc) is about learning to take all the +EV spots you possibly can. even if they are marginal. i'm pretty sure it could be proven by a winning player's database that it is profitable to open KQo UTG+1 at 5nl FR and lower provided you have even a slight understanding of how to value bet. granted, it may be close, depending on postflop skill level. but it's +EV which means it will add to your winrate. your poker skills will probably benefit, too.
