Are you talking about

Are you talking about reraising an open raise (3betting) or raising a limp?

Generally, strong hands and

Generally, strong hands and high connector/suited gapper type hands that flop well.Something like 88+, A9s+, ATo+, KTo+, KTs+, 98s, T9, JT, QJ.Changes based on their estimated limping range and postflop play, but that's probably a decent default for you to use. If you're a confident/stronger postflop player, you can go a little wider than that by default, and of course with favorable information you can begin to add in even lighter hands at times.I'd particularly advise against going too light on the pocket pairs (22-55 are rarely advisable to raise a limp with when mid to deeper stacked) and Ax hands (you just get too many situations where you get bluffed on non Ax boards and too much respect on Ax boards, can be helpful when you raise the other hands if this theory is a strong reality with your opponent).  But basically, I'd rather see you start raising a limp with 87 than 44 or A4 is what I mean when I say "going lighter."
