Fold preflop.

Bet the turn fold if pushed back at.

Fold preflop because of position or because you just don't play QTo? Where (if anywhere) would you play it?

Position definitely makes it a fold. The only time I play QTo is in the blinds. Even then, I will fold if there is a raise from a tight player or a reraise. In a loose game with a lot of players limping with poor hands, a case for playing it on the button could be made I suppose, but surely nowhere other than these 3 positions.

So QTo, what about JTo, KTo and ATo?

The only one playable IMO is ATo, only if you dont see a raise, and only against few opponents. This is because when playing hands like KTo, QTo, JTo, and even ATo, there is a substantial risk of domination. The offsuit little broadways gave me trouble for a while because they look a lot stronger than they really are. It took some pain (read: money lost) to realize these are unfavorable hands in nearly all situations outside of the blinds.
