My preflop strategy is very straightforward. No fancy plays.

I raise AA, KK, QQ, AKs, AKo, AQs, AQo and JJ in every position (I think, it's hard to think about it, but I could see myself checking with other hands).

I'll flat call with TT, 99, 88 and maybe 77 in EP along with ATs, AJs, KQs, KQo... ummm, QJs JTs MAYBE T9s... anything else (I'm pretty sure) is getting tossed in EP.

By MP I'll call with any pair if there are a few entered already. I'll play suited connectors down to 67s under the same circumstances. I really try to toss unsuited high cards, I'll throw away QJo here. I would play KJs. I probably would not be inclined to raise with many hands I wouldn't raise with in EP, unless no one had entered yet.

LP is not much different from MP except that I will play Axs more often, KTs QTs maybe K9s, but probably not Q9s.

In the blinds, I don't like the idea of putting money into the pot with what is likely the worse hand, and even if the distinction between whose hand is better might be close, I am likely to not play because of the positional disadvantage.

It's harder than I thought to really talk about my preflop standards. Of course, I am leaving out a lot. I correctly play more loose when more people are in the pot... I know when I'm getting odds to call with worse hands than usual. Et cetera.
