To make it simpler, you might consider basically not playing them voluntarily at all until you've proven that you are a winner playing ABC. Once you have that as a base, you can loot toward fine-tuning and optimizing your game.
thanks guys i appreciate the insight, ive been using them less and seeing better results ive been sticking to only late position as you said
^This... low suited connectors/gappers & smaller pps are for "smallball" tactics and best employed by players that have a firm grasp of the game and opponents...It helps to have multiple opponents in addition to late position and low cost. Save the trickery for higher limits. (ie 3 betting 56s vs regs i-p to vary your play and polorize your range)
