Starting Hands 50 NL

[fees]

I'm on bodog, but I doubt site is hugely important. I'm TAG but in the games i'm in theres not alot of preflop raising, so I've stretched by start hands, 109s is getting limped in early position, 67s in middle, and 89o and 6 and up (1 gap) suited. Is this ok? The games are pretty passive, is it just me or is this standard?

Don't start playing more hands OOP start playing more hands in BTN and CO aggressively - you want big pots when you have an advantage, and thats position, as you well know. Limping in and playing badly is spew. Just abuse your position more and make the blinds HATE you!

You can't play NL with fixed starting hands. Understand what factors make certain ranges good/bad and you will do well.

fees,

See flops cheaply with marginal hands in position. Limping hands like T9o, 45s etc in the CO and BN is fine. Raising these hands against stations is probably a spew.

Limping sucks!!!

Yeah come in raising with all hands first in this will put your opponents on their heels. Limping just leads to check fold weak play. You will make alot more money on small pots with raising and make bigger pots when you have the goods

Agreed. Create pots worth winning and then fight to win them (especially when you have position). You must make it your business to crush weak players through the application of brutal aggression. If they try to play back at you, it will be to your advantage as they will have to leave their comfort zone in order to do so.
