Having trouble picking up pots with marginal unsuited hands (AQo KTo QJo ETC)
As the title says I'm having issues playing these hands and never know how to play them.
I don't feel strong enough if i get re-raised pre-flop. And when If/when I don't hit on a flop I never know how to progress the hand from there.
I think in general I win maybe less than 20% with these hands just because I'm not sure the best way to play them.
Advice would be appreciated!

I @idolmaria - I'm having the same trouble, both on this site and IRL.
Here are some of the items on my "to study" list:

The second thing I'm doing is using PokerSnowie and APT to play and then analyze 1000 Marginal suited and unsuited and see if I can get better. Basically, I have pokersnowie running along side APT and I just feed it the scenario as I feel I could need help with tricky situations.
Here are a couple of articles as well:
