QJo - middle pair heads up

[Hack]

When do you play it, Entity? I will play it from the CO, button, SB, and BB, obviously, but if it is raised before it gets to me, I will fold it even in the BB. Is this correct?

And if it's not raised when I get this in the SB or BB should I raise with it after a lot of limpers or just complete/check? I know that big offsuit hands don't play well multiway, but if everyone is already in the pot I am not getting anyone to fold.

QJ suited on the other hand, I will limp with in early position and raise with in late-middle position if it hasn't been raised yet. Is this correct?

According to Poker Room, QJo has marginal positive value. I never played it under my previous playing style, but now I'm trying to find some spots where it might be profitable. Blinds and late position come to mind. It's a good hand to steal with, otherwise you should avoid it in raised pots.

How about it in an unraised pot, from the CO, button, or blinds. Should I limp in with it even though these are medium offsuit cards?

It's rare that I play it anymore. Mostly I play it for its high card value when I have position on weak limpers, and I'll play it for a raise then. Otherwise the SB, BB (of course, but never for a raise) and occasionally the Button.

It's just a hand I hate in general. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Okay I see now. I should probably do that too.

Do you raise with QJs from EP and MP if you're first in or do you call in EP and raise from MP?
