6 handed game and you are MP1 and are delt QJo, what is your opening play if table is
a) tight-passive
b)tight-aggressive
c)loose-passive
d)loose-aggressive
pre-flop?
Tight here means that table has <30-35%VPIP and aggressive means that there is some 3-betting PF.

Does your play change if you are CO with QJo and UTG has limped?

1) Raise

2) No

How did I do?

To win in poker you only need to be one step ahead of your opponents. Two steps may be detrimental.

I raise 1a & 1c. I limp 1d. I fold 1b.

I raise 2a, 2c, & 2d. I may fold 2b, but likely raise. All raises will be a variation of 4x. I will c-bet most missed flops that look dangerous to opponent, but safe to me.

30-35% VPIP isn't that tight IMO. I routinely see flop percentages in the high 20's, and that includes blinds, not just VPIP.

I like the idea of this post though.

1a + 1b i would raise, they are tight, you can knock out most hands with a good raise here. against a loose-passive limp, cheap flop, probably a cheap turn if you want it too. against loose aggressive, i would probably fold 3/4 the time, and raise 1/4 the time.

I think the only situtation I play this with an UTG limper is the loose passive or tight passive, but against tight passive I only go ahead with 2 pair or better, and even then with caution. loose passive i would raise, tight passive just limp.

Who is UTG? Is he a tight aggressive on the tight aggressive table? If so why did he limp? Etc. Need more info.

This should be fun since I'm an idiot.

It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?
Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.

Is it a tournament? or ring game?
If tournament, what stage in the tournament?
What are the blinds?
What is the respective chip count for each player relative to the blinds?

Not to be a pain, but this would influence how I play the hand in relation to style of the table...
