I just dusted off Stars yesterday, trying to both get the hang of no limit and remember everything I forgot over the past eight months (and arguably more, since I was checked out well before that).
I'm basically trying to get my money in, both when I have the advantage and when it's going to have to go in any way. I feel like I'm overplaying these hands - maybe getting a little too excited about being able to bet more than twice the big blind.

Notes: Preflop? I've been trying to avoid gratuitous 3-betting like I might do in a limit game, but this one seems pretty weak preflop.
