I usually don't play QJo, with position or not, I fold that hand... I play like that cause I think this is a weak hand and can make me loose too much money; as he cold be easily dominated by KQ,KJ,AQ or AJ...
But this hand history made me to think about that decision... How do U play that, or U either do not play?

I usually open raise QJo from the button, and will also raise it with a limper or two from late position.

I win a lot of hands without showdown and don't worry much about domination 4-handed unless someone gives me a good reason to.

In fact, I think in most of these games QJo > 54s.

The button is the best place to be when all the real money is won post-flop.

Genitruc is an unknown quantity at this point
 only play it when you can flop straights with a high frequency

this usually happens at the "badbeat jackpot" tables
when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?

 ABC, you can play a very wide range from the button. You just have to make sure your post flop game is strong enough to now when to dump your hand if you're beat. You won't flop a straight very often and you shouldn't let the fact it happened that hand influence your decision. I saw the flop come out 777 today, that doesn't mean I'm going to start playing 72o.
