Suited connectors aren't premium hands.
If it's the micros you will want to play tightly and aggressively. Read something like this.. or this.
VPIP is too high if you're just starting out online and trying to beat the micros.
You should be able to easily show a profit at those stakes by playing a very straightforward ABC game with VPIP/PFR around 25/20 (or similar). It's almost more important to get in the mindset of avoiding or compounding your losing sessions rather than winning all the time.
At these stakes there's not much benefit to making deceptive plays or bluffing much because the other players aren't paying attention or don't care. They have two cards and wanna see a flop, table dynamics / pot sizes / common sense be damned. You also need to take notes about who are the regulars and who are the fish, and what their tendencies are. Sometimes multi-tabling regs are the easiest to play against because they aren't paying attention and their style is so straightforward (e.g. really high fold to 3bet %, really high fold to steal %).
I'd recommend checking out this book if you're able. It has a wealth of info for succeeding at the micros. It also gives you two different options with respect to opening ranges and style of play - a tight aggressive style opening all pocket pairs and premium hands, or a lag style that opens more hands (like broadways and suited connectors) but puts you in trickier situations post-flop. It also has good info for setting up your HUD and using it effectively.
I'd recommend starting out with the TAG range, playing about 20,000 hands, and constantly reviewing and improving. You should spend significant time looking at past sessions and analyzing your play and your opponents play if you want to be better.
