This is a rough guideline on how to play preflop in a limit holdem game when youre first to enter the pot.
In Limit holdem it is crucial to always raise when you decice to enter the pot first and also most of the time when somebody entered the pot before you. Exception to this is the Big Blind Position where you call more frequently.
You can use this chart for 10handed, 6 handed as well for 3 handed games, heads up games are another matter which I will not discuss here.
I will merge groups of hands like pocketpairs and simply state them like JJ+ which means you should raise JJ and better pocket pairs in this situation. If it is 56s+ then u can raise 67s 87s and better hands but prolly fold 34s. If I state T9+ it would mean u can raise JT QT and KT also.
s stands for suited and hands with no s are automaticlly unsuited
Number of seats off the button:
7: 99+, AJs+, AQ+, KQs is a cutoff hand which propably should be folded by most playrs
6: 88+, ATs+, AQ+, KQs
5: 77+, A9s+, AJ+, QJs
4: 66+, A8s+, AT+, KQ+, JTs+
3: 55+, A7s+, A9+, K9s+, KQ+, 89s+
2: 33+, A4s+, A7s+, K7s+, KJ+, QJ, J9s, T8s, 89s, 78s
1: 22+, A2s+, A5+, K5s, K9+, Q9s, JT+, J8s, T8s, 97s, 78s, 76s
0: 22+, A2s+, A3+, K2s, K9+, Q5s+, Q9, J7s, J9+, T8, 97s, 98, 86s, 75s, 65s
Stealing from the small blind is far more difficult and complex to put in a chart as alot depends on your opponent. If your opponent folds alot of course you should raise alot while if he gets back at you should be more carefull. Another reason is that your out of position every time u go onto the flop.
This is only a rough guideline, u can add or cut out hands from this chart dependend on your needs. If you have any questions please ask in this thread.

I apologiye for any mistakes made in this post, please be kind and give me a hint.
