Default stuck at 15/10

I'm stuck at 15/10 despite stealing a lot more and defending a lot more. I'll steal with as little as Q8 or J9 type hands (although not always, depends on the calibre of player beside me), and I'll defend with a huge range of hands as I've read on here.

So my question becomes this:

what's the weakest hand you'll play in a position other then sb/bb/button

Should I be playing hands like K8 ? Or A4 ? I play little connectors when enough players are in, but otherwise I tend to toss them. I just get the feeling I'm still too weak tight, but I can't imagine playing K7-K8, especially since I'm trying to get my raise numbers up, and would have to raise it. Any advice on this would be great. Could also be cold cards I realise. Also I realise all these marginal hands are toast UTG and UTG+1, I'm thinking more in that middle spot .

What stakes/sites do you play, how would you characterize your average table?

What position do you start to raise
QTs
QTo
JTo
44,55
K9s
K9o?

short handed I play party, 3/6 (full 10 players I play 5/10)

with regards to the 3/6 6max:


QTs (raise UTG+1)
QTo (raise on button)
JTo (raise on button)
44,55 (raise UTG+2)
K9s (raise UTG+1 in a weak game)
K9o? (button)

not a ton by any means, less then 7000. But I figured it would enough to spot a trend.

You know it is a very small sample + may be cold deck. Search for mebenhoe's starting hand chart - it should help you a lot at the stakes you are playing at - the numbers would come about right may be after some more hands. Just do not worry too much about your stats though - mine were 20/12 at 10K 3/6 6max.

I think that you could start by raiseing JTo and QTo (and similar hands) in the c/o (especially when it is folded to you- or if there is one bad limper).

This doesn't look like 15/10 to me.
