So, you are raising QJs for value, then? In other words, you think it's the best hand right now? Because if you don't, then you are basically building a pot with the intention of "stealing" it after the flop - and you can do that with any two cards.... so why do it with QJs and not KT or 44 or 72? Or are you just gambling, because you have a hand that can hit some flops (but won't won't be the best hand most of the time)?

Not only that, but with your min raise, you have opened the door for any of the limpers and certainly the blinds to reraise and push you off your hand, so you'll be throwing away twice as much money (I assume you'll fold to a real raise) as you needed to.

IMO, if you want to play for "double the stakes," move up in limits.
