Re: not vbetting KQ, that's because it hates to get checkraised, and it strengthens my checking range a ton. Against an unknown, I'm trying to polarise the hell out of my flop cbetting range so I'm betting either hands that can go for 3 streets of value and can call (or 3bet) a checkraise, or hands that can readily fold to a checkraise.
KQ is also very unlikely to get drawn out on here, so I don't mind checking it back so much, wheras if it was like KJ on a J-high flop, I'd be more inclined to bet it.
It also means the hands somewhere in the middle, that don't bet the flop, can often bet both the turn and river for value, or can call bets on some turns and rivers, wheras I don't want to bloat the pot with them early in the hand.
I am specifically talking here about being readless though, no way I'm not vbetting flop with KQ against a fish.
