There are times that QJ is playable, just as any hand is playable and it all depends on table dynamics, to say "just toss it as if it was 72" is such bad advice, it does have possibilities, after all, they are Broadway cards.First loosen up your wrist. Do a few rotations and gently push your wrist back and forth with your other hand. Now pick your cards up and pitch them into the muck.
This hand is not a good hand. It doesn't even look like a good hand. I'm not even thinking of playing it unless it's suited or I got a super good read on my table. You're only playing this hand for a possible straight or maybe two pair with an unpaired board. Honestly I think you see the results of playing this hand. You should be folding just as quick as 72. Unless your super short stacked and have no choice. "Never go dead with a queen in your hand"
