This is my personal starting hand chart i use.
I will play any pair 88 and up from any position
Ace-facecard suited or 2 facecards suited from any position also including A10s K10s etc.
KQo from any position as well.
Now here is where I'll get some disagreements:
Any suited connector from 45s and up from ANY position.
From middle position I add the rest of the pocket pairs 77 all the way down to 22 however if I'm at MP1 or MP2 I will often fold these
From late position preferably the button, but will also do it from the cutoff I add K9s K8s Q9s
Any pocket pair
KJo
K10o
Now let me explain my stance on suited connectors. They are the best for me. I have won more money off these cards than i will ever lose. Many will say only play them with the correct pot odds and they would be right, but with these cards I will also use implied odds. For example:
I'm at a table that has on average 57% seeing the flop. That is 5.7 people or in other words this hand may have 5 the next 6 people the one after that maybe 5 the one after that perhaps 6. I call the bet in early position knowing that I am going to get the pot odds because in this case I am using implied odds, but be careful for implied odds do not always pan out the way you think they might.
Now in early position QJs Q10s and K10s may not be the best decision I could make but since I don't see these cards in early position on a regular basis I will take a stab with them.
