video hand: raising QJs from MP video hand: raising QJs from MP

Observed hand from a video training site, so the stacks are close but not perfect. With 4 players left to act and a 28bb stack I am raising relatively tight here. BB was a confirmed station. Can we talk about playing non-premium hands when not on the BTN/CO? When is tight right vs opening up early?

a) what do you think about this raise?
b) what else is in your range for raising here?
c) general thoughts about making plays vs saving chips for shoving later.

Blinds 25/50 $114 SNG.
UTG 1745
UTG+1 2875
UTG+2 1170
Hero 1395
CO 1470
BTN 1530
SB 1855
BB 1185

Hero is CO+1 with [QJs]
Preflop: 3 folds. Hero raises to 150.

Great 1st post , this is a trble spot for me , when to raise these hands from somewhat mid/late pos .

A- I wouldnt raise this in a 6.50 turbo.
B- W/o thinking about it too hard and without other factors considered 77+, KQ maybe Kj/kjs / A10+
C- I might be too nitty , but I'm sure it's not correct to open too wide from the hijack or co at 25/50. Looking forward to hearing other responses.
