Default Q2o in BB

You have Q2o in BB. UTG folds. MP raises and everyone calls in front of you. Do you call? If not, would you call if it was suited?

What about other terrible hands in same situation, 73o, 94o, J2o etc...? Does the value on these hands go up much when tehy are suited in these situations?

yes they go up a lot. Q2o is a horrible hand that plays horribly in multiway pots. what you can play is suited cards that connect in some way, like 53s och 96s. with such a large field against you you're prolly not very likely to win the post with Q2o even if you flop something like Qxx, therefore you stick to the hands that play well in multiway pots.

But when 4 players i front of you have put in 2 BB. Do you have the pot odds to call with a hand like Q2o or Q2s in BB then?

It's not about pot odds. You have the pot odds to call with Q2o. It's about implied odds and how the hands will fare postflop. Q2 is a huge money loser postflop no matter how you slice it. Q2s less so, but it's not a very good hand either, and getting 7-1 is probably the cutoff for playability and you should muck.
