Itd be impossible/too time consuming to get into every hand preflop, and there is no one answer for many hands.
alot depends on the table (aggressive/passive) your image, your positioning, what the other players before you have done, the growing pot odds and your post flop play
In general I like opening (raising) if I am the first to enter the pot. You have to mix in calls (Axs, suited connectors) on occassion, but you also must raise with these hands and call with others (ex AQ) to avoid predictability
For the most part these are the hands that I consider playable AT SOME POINT or another. Just because a hand is here doesnt mean you can play it in all circumstances... in fact many of these hands you cant!
Suited connectors
Suited 1 gappers
non suited Connectors J10 and above
2 cards broad way and up, not including a 10 unless it's suited (be careful QJ KJ
All pairs
Ax suited
eh if im feelin it Kx suited once in a while too
As far as calling raises, I want to think Im either at worst, close to a coin flip preflop, or I have a hand which if it does hit it will be hidden and it can pay me off. Its hard to say bc there is no 1 answer. I'll call a raise with 7c6c in some circumstances, and I'll fold it in others
