Preflop is very bad unless villian is so LAG that you are actually trying to trap him here with QJo.

QJ is a bad hand to call a raise with because it has terrible reverse-implied odds, it is a weak hand, and it is often dominated. Just fold here.

I think your flop line is actually ok. I would consider raising, but I think we gain the same amount of information by calling and seeing what the opponent does ont he turn.

I like your turn line, although I'm a little weary that he might have 99/KK/AJ/QT/KJ. If he stacked off, c'est la vie.

preflop is a fold for me.

flop and turn seem fine. A read would be really nice.

Fold pre-flop.

Postflop is good.
