I don't like my turn play - QJo BB

Button looks like tight-passive: VPIP 19, PF raise 3.13

How's my play? I aware it too passive. Comments?

I fold QJo in the BB against a preflop raise (especially one from UTG).

You will always fold? But when you got more people in pot isn't it EV+ play to look at flop for one SB?

I fold this too. You're dominated more times than not. There has to be maybe 2-3 extra cold-callers for me to consider calling this.

You should fold QJo from EP or the blinds against a raise unless you have at least 3 callers. This makes this a positive EV play. As others have said, this is a trap hand (easily dominated) so playing from early position for 1 bet with lots of callers makes this a better play.
