This is preflop strategy for tight games with 2-4 players or less entering the flop
Open it every time when playing poker, you will need just 1-2 weeks to remember it. You can greatly improve skills by just avoiding first and main mistake for every poker player: - is playing too much hands preflop. If there was only one raise from player relatively loose raising preflop often (>10%) or tight player that raise from middle or late postion, always reraise him. Also take notes on opponents in consideration for this situation. This include all hands which you may think are more preferable for calling like AJ-AQ,KQ suited and pairs 88,99.

Big blind
Fold even cards like AJ,KQ if one tight player enter the pot from early position
Blind Defence
Raises from late positions if no on enter the pot very often used to "steal blinds" In such event wider range of cards to call a raise to unsuited higher 10.
Reraise against players attempting to steal blinds often, this helps to hide you hand and if you have image of tight player on the table there is big chance for opponent to fold after a bet on flop.
Remember for limit holdem especially, checking and calling strategy is the worst possible.
