Default No Limit player goes Limit

Hi
I've done quite well at $25 NL but now I'm looking for a transition to limit. I'm playing 5ct/10ct right now.
What are the main mistakes I can do in fullring/shorthand limit as a NL player?

How do I play small PP's (22-88) at FR/SH basically preflop?
Axs in SH always PFR?
Raise suited connectors PF to get good odds for a flop call?

Small pocket pairs and suited connectors have much less value in limit, since implied odds are much less.

Fold pocket pairs (22-66) and suited connectors (32s-T9s) in early position.

In 6-max, don't open-limp, ever. Axs is a limp generally, you may raise A9+.

There is a good 6-max chart in this thread: 6-max starting hands

so 6max is always open raise or fold?

So my standart starting hands for MP and LP are:
Axs
77-AA
JTs-AKs
two cards T+ suited
KQo

if nobody limped, I raise with any of those
when to reraise PF is clear

Keep in mind that you find yourself in more multiway pots in limit poker, especially in the crazy loose micros. From late position you can call with a variety of connectors and one-gappers with decent odds. Your big pairs are going to get beaten a lot in these multiway pots by people playing all sorts of odds hands. Adjust your strategy accordingly.
