I would fold preflop. Flop fold is good.

Is this common? I think you are right. KJ as well I assume? QJs playable?

QJs is playable because it still has quite a bit of strength multiway. QJo lacks the suitedness to provide that resiliancy, relying mostly on high card strength. That high card strength is often dominated by other hands, making this a pretty suspect hand in EP after a limper. If you were opening, I'd raise it up. KJo is less likely to be dominated, so I'd raise it up in this spot.

Edit: I could see either limping or raising QJs in this situation.

raise pf or fold. Fold normally, but I may raise here b/c we have 2 posters.

edit: to whom ever ask, QJs is playable, QJo is not so good. I would raise QJs in this situation every time.

At nickel dime I think you can play QJo from mid position for a little profit. As you move up though this hand becomes poison except in late postion or a blind steal.

Anyone care to address this?

Looking at it again I would probably still fold, but it is closer than I thought, with 2 posters and the table being 7-handed.
