In case of doubt, always look back to how a word was used.

In ST5 Kirk escaped Captain Klaa, who then says {po'qu'}, meaning
something along like "He's good." (I think that were the subtitles)

This is a good example to show the difference to {QaQ} "be good". {QaQ}
shows the quality of something (like a good wine), and {po'} is used in
this situation to show that Kirk really has a lot of experience (hence
the definition "be expert") and he is a very skilled captain.
