I will make the assumption that you are talking about limit - about Hold'em - and about low limit (below $3/$6). You will need to phrase your questions with all aspects of play covered, if you want good answers.

Now that we know the structure and game, we need to know some other things:

What position are you in? Under the gun, middle, late -

What type of image do you have at the table? a) tight - so you can steal more (b) loose - so you will get callers

What type of hands will your opponents call with if they suspect a steal? a) Are they very tight - can you only expect calls with the top 10 hands? (b) They are loose and will cold-call with weak hands.

Now with all this information, some excellent advice can be given. Poker is about specifics, not generalities. If you think differently, you will go broke.

If you want something general here, well, you might want to just limp with baby pairs, A-x suited, and K-x suited, and suited connectors.

Ask specifics and you will get specific answers.
