08 high hands in EP pre flop

[Ms 45]

I'm still working on my starting hand selection, thanks for all the help people have given me so far.

I'm starting to think that unless the game is loose and passive, high hands don't play well from early position (unless they're really really good). Hands like Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] or even KQJT rainbow don't seem that strong unless a lot of players are likely to see the flop for one bet. So am I on the right track here? Are these easy mucks? And how good of a high-only hand is needed in EP in a tight game. Obviously a hand like AAKK double suited is okay, but how much can you lower your standards from that?

Thanks for all the help...
