Hands and positions

Not always works like this but this is like a reference

Hands to Play in early position ( 1, 2, 3)

AA-----AK-----KK-----AQ-----QQ (always raise or re-raise)

Hands to play in middle positions ( 4, 5, 6, 7)

QJ----JJ----J10 suited-----1010----and the previous

Hands to play in late positions

Any pair and high card suited with bottom or middle kicker or high card with a middle card offsuited like 9 or 8

This is Pre-flop

After the flop everything change....is time to you to show your skills

What do you mean when you say "hands to play in middle position"? Are you saying if you have a A-J then just call but after the flop then bet it if nothing on the flop can beat it? I was a little confused by your post.

First person to act after the big blind (pre-flop) is position 1 next is position 2....... middle position here is 4th 5th 6th and 7th to act after the BB.

is pre-flop strategy...if nobody made any big raise after your turn you can call the big blind

i think u have to take into account whats going on around you and not just your cards

One question: What is the plan of attack if you have the above mentioned hands in those positions but are not the first to act?

I am with you when it comes to being weak on pre-flop bets. I think I fair better most of time being a sleeper or slow playing a good hand. My experience with pre-flop raises is that a player will either force me allin or they will call with their crappy 3-6 off suit and actually win against my A-K suited.
