I woudl suggest start using these opening ranges, I mean if no-one has bet then raise these hands in these positions. Add all the hands in postions above the position you are playing from. For expample in UTG+1, play the hands I state in UTG+1 + UTG.

UTG: 55+,AQs+,,AQo+
UTG+1: 44,AJs,KQs
MP1: 33,AJo, KQo
MP2: 22,ATs,KJs-KTs,QTs+,JTs
HJ: A9s-A8s,ATo,KJo-KTo,QTo+,JTo
CO: A7s-A2s,T9s,98s,87s,76s,65s,54s
BU: K9s-K2s,J9s,T8s,97s,86s,75s,64s, A9o-A2o
I would suggest tightening up even more as a new player... but not too much.. you gotta learn to play postflop too.
