And about limping, so if i'm in middle or late position, and I have a suited connector, should i not limp it? Should I raise with it?
And also, what about calling raises. If say I have AQo and someone from middle position raises 4x bb, and he's a medium tight player, should I reraise him, call, or lay it down??

I know that its still a very small sample size, but during it, i only hit one set, and suffered 2 bad beats. I found that i am definitely in less sticky situations.

So my biggest adjustments are
i am raising all pocket pairs from all positions but small and big blind.
I dropped opening hands like AJo and ATs UTG.
I stopped playing suited connectors until Cutoff or Button.
Unless I have Ak, or a pair, i'm folding to raises from the blinds.
If there is less than 2 limpers, i'll steal more with sc's and suited As from CO and Button.
I stopped Cbetting on multiway pots and against loose callers.
I think i only open limped once the whole session, and that was a suited connector against 3 limpers in front while i was on button.

I think thats most of them, let me know if there are any other things that I should try to incorporate into my game.

also i defintiely wouldnt raise ANY pp from ANY position
