Tons of a4 and a5x hands are playable for a raise and 3! Them is often a good idea
A3 with 2 broadway cards is a hand OP should be raising. 23 with 2 broadway cards is hand he should mostly be folding but could consider opening from the btn and/or defending from the blinds.
234x is normally a fold. Hands like 2345/3456/4567 are situationally playable but very dangerous and you should be reluctant to try it without strong hand-reading ability postflop. You will often need to hand-read well to know when to hang on with bottom 2 pair on axx flop and how evaluate your lo when 1 or 2 better los are possible.
Agree the kqj/kqt dangler hands are mostly an automuck. Its the type of hand I might limp with on the btn in a weak cash game but even in that situation its marginal.
I would strongly recommend that op prioritize raising or folding a4/a5 hands and not limping them if no one has acted yet. These hands will lose profitability if they give blinds a free ride. Overlimping is fine but raising might still be better. Understanding equity relative to the blinds is probably the number 1 most important concept for winning flo8 poker.
