A hand that potentially get you in a lot of trouble. I have been folding it 9/10 times. Any thoughts?

I avoid playing these types of hands. if they are sweeted and the table is in the clean, I can even enter conservatively. a pair can put you in a bad situation, the whole table has limp, probably do not have many chips on the table and I do not expose myself much in these situations.

Only play it if you're in late position, and don't get married to it. That's my best advice.

I play this hand only in late position, I try to look cheap at the board and if I do not get it, I throw off regret.:hmmmm2:

I do not like to play with such a hand from an early position. I always fold it in late pizicia, I can go cheaply into the multipot.

Hi,

QJ falls into the range of hands I don't open raise with only if I am opening on the button or opening shove shoving a 10BB stack on the small blind.

QJ is a pretty grandmother's hand, but I always call a call from any position.

Depends on stack size and position. You've got to be careful if you just hit a pair, and are out kicked, but if you make a straight you could make a lot if someone hist their A or K so it's a hand I'd want to play if I can see a reasonably priced flop.

It depends on stage of the tournament, stack size, position on table and who is in blinds. So much goes into decisions beyond your 2 cards you cant say how you would play a hand without knowing all the info.

Try to see a flop and take it from there. If I can get in cheap (compared to whatever stack I have) I'll be there. Post flop, depends on the community cards.

I usually play these hands if they are of the same suit and when I am in late positions ... otherwise I would have to have more information from the villains before playing them ...!

You have to give more context than just picking up a hand. If you ever watch high stakes poker on the television, you will find some players playing blind (not looking at their cards) and simply playing position and putting people in bad positions to call a raise. It sounds crazy and quite is if someone is sitting back on aces but QJ is a good hand, it really depends on where your position is and what the action is pre-flop.

In early positions fold,open reise from cutoff(sometimes hijeck),button and small blind.Calling small open reise from button and blinds its oke for me.On the bubble if im big stack i will open it from any position to put pressure.And if im really short with blinds then open shove from CO and closer sometimes its option.Postflop ofc be carfull.

Similarly. A garbage hand which only seems strong. You shouldn't play her very often. 1/10 will go

QJ can be a tough hand to play as there are many situations it is a clear fold, and many where it is a call, and some where it is a 3bet.

Later position and suited I would typically raise them to see where I stand. Limping only gets you in trouble

Everything depends on the position and stage of the tournament, you can go with them as the connoisseurs of both suited and disagreeable

I think it depends on your position and stack size. Also if you seem to be having a good streak it’s worth checking out the flop if you can play for cheap.

A weak hand in eight cases out of ten.

I would, if I played it, then only from a position, and very cautiously.

It's my opinion
