I have only been playing a month or so and am playing $5-.50 MTT at Stars and am looking to open up my starting hand requirements, going past the top 10 hands. Thinking about suited connectors in MP and LP and even low PP if in position, most of which I dont play now.

I am not doing all that bad, ITM every 2 out of 3, have good discipline and make a lot of FT and ITM but cant win it. I think the main reason is I am too tight short handed and get blinded away or limp into the FT with a small stack, waiting everyone out. I need to open up but not sure what to open up with.

Any help?
