These hands are causing me some headaches at the moment, I'm happy raising them in the last 2 or 3 seats with no raises in front of me. However in middle position i find myself wanting to call rather than raise with them. I don't know if this is just me being weak and passive or not. In the first 2 seats i also get torn between folding and calling. Most of the time a raise will come in behind me and i'm not calling a raise in EP with these hands so folding seems sensible but these are pretty good hands and throwing them away seems a bit weak as well.

Over my past 10k at full ring 50/100 NL i'm running at 15/3.5
3.5% pfr seems rather low, i used to run at about 7% but i've had an 18 month gap and i'm trying to get back into the groove. I'm winning at a fairly mediocre 1.9 BB/100 so there's plenty of work to be done on my game.

So how do you guys play these hands, especially in middle positions?

Yeah, 3.5% pfr is really low. I open raise KQ & AJ from all positions and raise them behind limpers (but my FR pfr is 14%). If they're suited I'll usually call raises with them (occasionally re-raise), if offsuit I'm almost never calling raises, except from loose pfr'ers.

Since you're obv a bit more conservative, I'd recommend dumping them offsuit in EP, open-raising in MP and later, and always raising both from LP. If they're suited you could open limp or limp behind limpers in EP & MP, and still always raise in LP.
