It really is a study in contrast to the "Low Ball" poker promoted by Negreanu. While I have no problem with one raising early with a speculative hand like KQs, it isn't my first choice in early or even middle tournament play. It is a hand to steal blinds with when the blinds mean something. It is also a hand that gives some implied odds so the beneficial early play would be building a multi-way pot. Overbetting is ignoring or disrespecting the table. The term "betting for information" isn't part of his vocabulary. That's my take anyway.
