My strategy is to play so many tables at once I am incapable of getting reads which cause me to call raises from out of position with QTs then stack off with 2nd pair during 20/40.

You could try making a defensive type bet for like 75-100. But I would just fold pf...you're gonna be OOP with a relatively weak hand and a lot of times you're going to be put in tough spot where you have to fold what could easily be the best hand.

fold preflop, this early I do not play this hand from any position for any amount let alone in a raised pot. You will get a better spot.

I tend to agree with the PF fold. But as you played it IMHO, I don't mind going broke here. Prob just me though.
