You called his raise with KQo. I wouldn't have even called it with AQ. UTG is a bad position. KQo is not a great hand, and in UTG it's really quite weak IMO.

Look at what you have, and think "ok, if i hit a king or a queen, am i still ahead of him? what is he raising with?" Yes the players at these stakes SUCK, and will call you down with air a lot of the time, but from my experience, if they PFR then they usually have a legitimate hand.

Remember, you can very rarely use fancy plays, or even bluff people at $2/4/5 NL, so just stick to awesome starting hands, and play aggressive when you hit your set/TPTK etc.
