In a 4-6 handed table, I'm probably raising an unraised pot pre-flop with any pocket pair.

Like TroyF said, face cards like QJ (suited or not) can be very tricky. Those types of hands are easily dominated. Even if the flop comes 9-J-4, AJ and KJ have you dominated, those without a J will fold to you, even people with a weak J will probably fold. These kinds of hands often lead to disaster unless you end up with a straight or full house. With QJ, QT and JT, it's very hard to trust that a Q, J or T on the flop is giving you the best pair. In situations like these, positioning is very important.

Even 6 handed, I might just fold something like QJ in early position.
