Limit Hold'em Strategy .5/.10 6-Max

Currently I play Limit Hold'em .5/.10 on Bovada and am asking for strategy advice. Limit isn't really my game of choice, that would be no limit. I've played a lot of no limit but I'm trying to build a bankroll from nothing. Currently I have $7.58 and I know BRM so I realize you need $30.00 to be bankrolled for Limit Hold'em. I started off with about $3.00 from a couple of freerolls, which I play almost every night, but the other $4.58 has came from .5/.10 Limit cash games. I am playing these limit games because it's the lowest offered on Bovada. I play at 6 max tables to try to give my small bankroll a little bit of a bigger edge. I also practice good hand selection. But which hands should I be raising pre-flop? Hands I typically raise pre-flop are AA, KK, AK, AQs. Sometimes I raise hands like KQs, AJs, JJ, TT. This is all of course depending on my opponents. Also worth mentioning I try to practice good table selection by not sitting down with a table full of $5.00 buy-ins which to me spell out regulars. My typical buy-in is $1.00 and I try to maintain a rule of only allowing my self to lose $1.00 per day, which I haven't done in sometime. Another strategy I try is the hit and run strategy. I don't hit and run as much now because I'm starting to get pretty well build up so I stay at the table longer. I also know to do things like sit to the left of the biggest stack if possible. And I know that kickers are less of a problem in 6 max. Should I play the raise or fold strategy (like in NL), with what should I be calling bets, and how often should I raise. I typically am pretty PAG pre flop and TAG post flop. To me FL is harder to make calls or raise because there's always the same bet sizing where in NL bet sizing comes into play.

Winning at Low Limit Holdem by Lee Jones has already been mentioned. It is my bible. I am a limit player. You were asking about pre flop raising hands? I made up a chart from the book. Jones says to raise with AA thry JJ, AK thru A J suited, K Q suited, AQ AK unsuited. That is in early position.

middle position add 10 10 thru 88, A 10 suited, K J suited and QJ suited. nothing more unsuited. I play with my chart in front of me. If you can find the book, get it.

I do not play no limit ring games, there are too many to whom money seems to mean nothing, they raise a lot, and I am soon out of funds. I do well in NLHE tournaments, but not ring games.

you will need lots of patience to play micro stackes limit holdem. tight agressive is the best way to play in those tables. raise every street with a strong hand on the flop, turn and river. never slowplay as its not profitable in limit games, only check- raise can be profitable in some situations. fold when you dont hit anything on the flop unless you have a straight or flush draw, maybe you could call one more street with a low pair or a strong preflop hand like ak or aq...
Try to not enter with maginal hands as they are not profitable on the long run. hands like j10 suit or kq suit are much better and has much more value than 87 or 65 suit.
A very important thing in limit holdem is to not overestimate pocket pairs like aces or kings. they can be profitable and you should play them aggresive preflop, however with lots of players involved in the hand and a flop like 910j or kk4, aces lost much of their value and you should be careful about players raises and reraises. even folding on flop or turn could save you lots of money on the long run.
