Best play: Call
Why
Versus a cheap 33% UTG c‑bet, QJs gets a great price to peel with two overcards, the king gutshot, and a backdoor flush; raising bloats the pot as a bluff against UTG's strong, polarized continuing range, so calling and realizing equity is best.
Key idea
Facing a small c‑bet on a paired board, hands with two overcards plus a backdoor/gutshot have enough equity and price to call but not enough to raise into a strong range.
