The bigger the blinds in relation to your stack, the higher in value hands like that go up imo. There is more in the pot for you to take down which will increase your stack size by a bigger %.
If you don't feel comfortable with playing the hand when it is folded round to you then just muck it, don't limp. Folding is a bad play, but limping is probably worse.
You need to get to a stage though where you are comfortable playing these hands and not be worried about getting outplayed post flop all the time. Maybe read a few books or get involved in more tournaments.
Ditto everything crack said.

I definitely need to improve my game if I want to play hands like this WAY better.
Short handed, I'll play KQo all day long but let's say the blinds are relatively big but not killing me (eg my M is, say, 10), I am likely to muck KQo ahead of playing it in early or middle position.
Obviously that is situational depending on who is sat to my left and in the blinds but that is the general rule I go by

Agreed, main point I was making was that in a tourney you just don't have the luxury of folding KQ when it folds around to you unless you are sitting on a big stack.
