Table has been fairly tight, villain just played for a couple of hands.
Do you think I should open-raise QJs from UTG+2?
Is the size of my c-bet ok? Should I fold or should I insta-call beacause he is shortstacked?

No, I don't think QJs is a hand I'd be raising unless I was in last couple of seats at a table or it was VERY tight. If you are going to raise, I'd make it 4x bb rather than 3.

On the flop, your cbet looks fine but $.70 would probably be better. The board is about as dry as they come so might as well go with a bit smaller. When he pushes there's no telling what you are up against, but since he's short and you are getting about 3:1 I'm not going to fold.

With a QJs in an EP I'd rather limp hoping for a big pot and a great flop.
As played: call, this AI can be everything: weaker Q, 88, 99, TT(though he might have reraised PF then), overcards or simply desperation.
