Too tight - help me preflop!

[alekhine8]

I am currently playing $1/$2 on Party. I am beating the game and have beaten the game in the past up to $3/$6. However, I play way too tight (13% VP$IP).

I have a decent idea of what I want to do post-flop so I feel adding more hands will improve my winrate. I have posted 11 hands, some of which you feel I should have played differently.

Assume these are full ring games at a normal Party $1/$2 table.

There are all fine except, depending on the players, you could raise #9 and limp #10.

Don't be too concerned with your tightness. Postflop play is more important.
