When you're in the BB and can close the action, you can call much wider (including all the suited connectors and all suited aces and all suited Broadways).
As a beginner, it's much better to have the leak of being slightly too tight than the leak of playing too loose. You can open with fairly wide ranges, but you should be tight when facing a raise.
That's about the hands I call with, and still my PFR is very close to VPIP. i read that it should be 3% lower +-.
