I know Im asking a lot of specific questions right now that might be annoying, but im comming off of a streak of not wanting to play online ( as my previous post has stated). Sorry if this gets annoying, Im big blind and the guy before the small blind raises 4xBB, I have QJo, would it be good to call?

Obvious answer: It depends.
What type of player is this guy? Tight/passive? Tight/aggressive? Loose/aggressive? How many callers were there before him?
If he's a tight player, I'd say fold. You're probably an underdog to a preflop raise of any significant size by a tight player (though their position could factor in a bit as well...maybe they are trying to steal blinds). On the other hand, if they are loose, it's more iffy...I could go either way on it, but I'd still lean toward a fold. I'm assuming this person was the only person to raise.

If he were in the last position to bet, I would probably call him if he had any history of trying to steal the blinds. If he had no history, I think it would be a 50/50 chance I would call.

Someone sounds like he hates Q/J. 
Unless you plan on taking the pot away from him post flop, fold.

Uh, it's probably a blind steal if it's folded to the button and he plops down a standard raise.
You actually have pretty good cards agaist a random hand. If you REALLY think it's a steal, then re-raise. If you are not sure call, then bet out on the flop and see what he does.
If he's super tight then it's probably not a steal, and you should fold. If he's super agressive, then you should not call becauswe he will likely re-raise you on the flop.
