New poker player: looking for range and Pre-Flop betting advice

Post Body

I play poker with a small group of friends, blinds are usually .25/.50 with a $25 buy in. Iā€™ve been losing a lot recently and been thinking about expanding my strategy.

I play probably 70% of hands (mostly limping) as we most always do. A couple of bad beats at this buy in amount will surely put you out of your stack. Any advice on pre-flop raising in various positions? Iā€™ve seen a lot of pre-flop raising charts but I donā€™t see myself betting a lot of money in position even with some suited connectors or high card mid card if I donā€™t hit the flop.

Sorry, my bad. Iā€™ve played roughly 15-20 2-3 hour sessions of poker at this point. Iā€™ve had my ups and downs, but mostly feel like my gameplay is rooted in complete luck. I know itā€™s ā€œgamblingā€ and itā€™s supposed to be luck, and I know that I shouldnā€™t be limping but if no one else is pre flop aggressive raising all but 1 in 10 hands why wouldnā€™t I? Wouldnā€™t that boil down to implied odds anyway to see most flops if you have a 9/10 chance that youā€™re not getting raised with the group I play with? Going hella ape and raising 1.5-3 $ every time I have 2 face cards or somewhat in position seems like itā€™ll just get a call anyway and Iā€™ll bomb the flop. I think these are common ideas most beginners struggle with anyway

See this is a problem I have. Iā€™ve looked over these PreFlop raising charts but most of them apply to when people FOLD to you, not exactly limp to you. I feel like that position should be even tighter than these raising charts because most of the time they will limp call that too and itā€™s just now a ā€œbigger potā€. Say Iā€™m in button position and I have something like Ace 10 suited. If I just bomb the flop thereā€™s a good chance I just fold especially if lots of others are still in.
