Ahh, the lovely QJs is the topic of discussion again.

I'm still gonna advocate that QJs is primarily a late-position limping hand, during which you primarily want lots of others in order to make a nice draw and drag a big pot with it.

I don't mind the raise from early position in order to pre-isolate the loose callers... people more likely to have J-rag, and Q-rag than AK, AQ, etc... but you gotta know the people behind you, and be able to get away from it fairly easily if a tight player pushes back.

Reasons against raising early:
- No showdown value (weak high-card value)
- Easily dominated by non-raising but calling hands (KJ, KQ)
- Out of position (which combined with easily dominated is eek)


But like I said, if you have a handle on the table I don't mind it. But Isss needs goods readssss precioussss.
