How to play QJo
Playing it before the flop
Open from cutoff onward. QJo wins 58.2% against a random hand on high-card strength alone, but without a suit it cannot make a flush, and that missing possibility is worth more than it looks.
Facing a 3-bet
Tighten up. Offsuit broadways are exactly the hands a 3-betting range dominates, you are often drawing to three outs against the hand that raised you. Continue with the top of the group and let the rest go.
After the flop
Top pair with a good kicker is the usual outcome, and it is worth one or two streets rather than three. QJo improves on very few turns, so the plan should be to win a medium pot, not to build a large one.
QJo questions

Yes, from cutoff onward in a six-handed game. Earlier than that there are too many players still to act for the hand to be profitable as an open.

Against eight opponents its equity falls to 15.4%. Every extra player reduces the share, but a hand that makes the nuts loses less of it than a hand that only makes a pair.
