General 5-max starting hand question

[jenga223]

Hi. Long-time lurker on these forums.

In the 3/6 5-max game at WPEX, I will sometimes fold marginal hands like KJo, KTo, KTs, KQo, AJo, A9s, A8s, 22-66 under the gun for whatever reasons. Sometimes I'll be running bad and don't want to be out of position against a tough LAG who constantly 3bangs me and puts me in difficult spots post flop. Or I'll have just showed down a couple marginal hands in a row and want to slow down.

Anyway, is not playing these hands a leak? if so, which ones? Is it okay to fold some of these, but not others? Also, the same question applies to raises in front of me. Sometimes I will 3-bet these hands and sometimes I will fold. Lastly, the SB is 1/3 the BB, and sometimes I will fold these hands to a blind steal instead of re-raising (sometimes I will call, player-depend, I know). But am I missing out on substantial EV by doing this?

22-55 are standard folds for me in the HJ. I sometimes raise 55 and always raise 66. I will sometimes fold KTo, but the rest are always raises for me.

I play 30.4/20.6 overall and 22.9/21.4 out of the HJ.

How about QJo, ATo, QTs, JTs, T9s? I'm experimenting with tighter vs looser styles for this game to see which suits me better. I appreciate any help at all.

ATo, QTs, JTs are raises for me.

QJo is a raise when there aren't fish in the CO or Button, but T9s is always a fold for me.

All the hands you listed are automatic raises except 22,33, and 44. You're folding AJo? That's an automatic raise utg in a 10 handed game.

And believe it or not, my VPIP is about as low as they come around these forums.

Also, never CALL a raise in the small blind. Raise or fold. Always.
