Default LIMCASH - Preflop play

The below questions come from me having problems in understanding some of the theory when playing. I'm averaging 5BB/100 at 0,5/1 but pays 5BB/100 in rake, so no real money in it, but gotta learn to play before going a level up.

The answers might not be the only options, so please explain if its not one of the options I have given. Also please explain the reason for playing the way you think is best.

Q1: What is the best way to play out of the SB.

2. Raise the the x % best and x % worst hands, call the rest.

Q2: What is the best way to play out of the BB when the SB calls?

Q1: 4. opponent dependent. raise more often against folders, and less often against callers/reraisers.

Q2: 4. opponent dependent. raise more often against loose SB players and less often against tight SB players. I actually don't like raising much from the BB.

Q3: 3. opponent dependent. although never reraising is not a horrible strategy.

Q4: 2. depends on how loose you have been calling with out of the SB and how often the BB is raising.

As you can see the answer is always opponent dependent.

I know there are very successful heads up pros that raise 100% from the sb (sites where its the button), and call 100% of the time from the BB(never re-raising or folding). I doubt that is optimal, but its somthing to think about.
