ANother problem I have is this:

I'm in BB and have Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
I check

Flop comes J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Where do I go from here? Obviously I check, but when someone bets? Do I call for one bet having 5 outs to a decent hand? Do I fold?

Well, as in all poker situations, it depends. This is a very thin holding, as you know. I can really not think of a situation where I would want to continue playing this. If you are heads up, you might take one off. But that's about it.

I just did a Poker Stove run and was surprised to see that this hand actually has value against random hands with up to two opponents with this board. However, even against the worst players, you will not often be up against a random hand. Give your opponent(s) a bit of credit and you really are drawing thin.
