thanks so much
First 3 to act - UTG to UTG+2: QQ-AA, AK
4th - MP1: JJ-AA, AK, AQs
5th - MP2: 1010-AA, AK, AQ
6th - MP3: 66-AA, AK, AQ, AJs, KQ
7th - CO: 22-AA, AJo+, A10s+, KQ, KJs
8th - BTN: 22-AA, A10o+, A9s+, KJo+ K10s+, QJs, J10s

For Blinds play as a general rule, if it's folded to you in the SB use your button range. If it's folded to you in the BB then you get the blinds.
Also, if someone before you raises and you are in the blinds, your hand needs to be strong to call the raise as you will be out of position (OOP) in future betting rounds.

Starting hands charts are great for people who are starting out. you will notice that you are folding 80% or more of your hands using this chart, that's normal so expect it.
