QJo - comments

I'm really at a loss as to if I am playing anything right at all. Does this look OK?

Raise or fold preflop. QJo isn't the best hand to overlimp with from MP, especially given UTG is so supershort. Raise the flop the first time around. Any reads on CO? Would he overlimp AQ/KQ? When he calls your flop 3-bet, looks like you're beat, but you really can't fold the turn in this big pot with just 2/3 psb left.

I'd fold preflop. UTG is likely going to call if you raise. If you get action from other players they're going to play cautiously because of the sidepot.
