100nl it's not my limit,but I would c/r a litle bigger.I want max value from flush draws,pair + straight draw kind of hand and obvious overpairs.I don't know what % of oppening from ug has the villain,but if it's lower I would fold preflop,because QJs doesn't play so well vs an UG solid open range,we don't flop like this every time and when we flop Qxx or Jxx and villain barrells we don't know where we at.Hope that my comment wasn't that worse.Sorry for my bad english!

hi, it would be easier to put the HH direcly on this site, (even if i struggle to put mine, it will be easier if you manage)
i would X/R flop to represent FD even if he will folds a lot (i do it as semibluffs to)
as played i would bet something loke 1/2 expecting to be call by staights and flush draws, i think if we bet bigger we lose the FD

Given that he 4x preflop, your call preflop might be too loose depending on his opening range UTG (his raise 1st %). Flop is totally fine, it dont have to be bigger, if anything smaller. (I would make it smaller like 16-18ish).

OTT you wanna bet ~50% pot to keep your perceived range as wide as possible, you wanna bet to "protect" your hand & stack Jx pretty much.

I agree with the earlier comments that cold calling the 4x from UTG with QJs in the BB without reads is generally a losing play.

As played, I would check-raise the flop larger than you did (probably closer to 24 dollars) as hands that will continue will continue on this board texture will probably be indifferent to the raise amount between 20-24 dollars. However, one line that would be worth pursuing would be to check-raise smaller, to 18 as igotya suggests, which will allow you to bet half pot the rest of the way.

On the turn, if we had c-r 24 dollars, then the pot will be roughly 56 dollars, which allows for a continuation of about very small at about 16 to induce (which I feel is probably one of the few ways to get money into the pot on the turn with a 4 to a straight)

thanks guys for great feedback - agree with you that cold calling is weak but played for a while nl30 and nl50 rather loose 28/24 and still have some bad habbits which i'm trying to fix. I fired arond 30$ and he shoved with AJ.
