You have no low potential either, for another reason, and no nut suit. Loads of reasons not to pot pre with a marginal holding. You are basically hoping for a Q-high flop or to flop broadway, giving you two ways to improve. Ideally we want more ways than that.
If you think of a hand in terms of how likely you are to improve multiway to a hand that can bet into multiple ranges, this one doesn't cut it with just the Q/broadway. Maybe 15% of the time you get what you want.
Compare to a hand like AA23ds: Ax flop (12%), two nut flush draws (22% flopping either one), A2/A3 will flop a low or low draw a lot too (not sure about the %s here - not a low expert). You're looking at closer to 40%+ of having a flop you can continue on. Now that's a winning bet pre.
When I play plo5 (hi only), I strongly prefer hands that can improve several ways, not just one or two.
