How to play A2-A9 off suit in 6max table

2) when there is one or two limpers call already?

1) raise
2) fold

To win in poker you only need to be one step ahead of your opponents. Two steps may be detrimental.

i have been playing 6 handed NL exclusively for over 2 years online.. i wont raise with A-8 or lower from anywhere but the button in a pot thats been folded to me. I will Raise with A-9 usually if i am the first one in but will quickly toss it if i get some heat back.
Alot of players overestimate the value of these week aces in a 6 handed game. I'll play AK, AQ, and AJ just about evertime and AT, A9 depending on situation but thats it

I agree with Grand Master, these are not very good cards and should usually be folded preflop, or they will get you into trouble. If the pot hasn't been raised, I may limp with them, and definitely fold to any raise. In an unraised pot, I may give A9 or A8 a little more kicker value, just because someone would usually raise with A10 or better. But of course it all depends on the table texture.

This is 6 max LIMIT right?
I think it is almost always incorrect to open-limp into a pot in 6 max. If you are going to play any hand, open raise. This will get worse hands that could out flop you to fold, and gives you a better idea of the texture of your opponents hands. You will often win just by leading.
With offsuit aces, if you get called, and get played with after you flop an A, you can slow down or even fold depending on your read.
With other players in the pot you are too often dominated and the hands are too weak to play with.
The suited aces, you should often limp after other players are in the pot. The 3% of the time you make your flush makes a huge difference.

On a 6 max table, you can't overestimate the value of an ace in hand. The chance of someone else having one is diminished greatly by odds. Most of the time you'll have 4 or 5 people at the table. In an unraised pot at a table like this, Ax is golden. You'll win more pots when the ace pops than you'll lose by being dominated. The key is to be careful on later streets unless you can put your opponent on something other than that ace when it pops.
I'm not opposed to raising A6 or higher either when limped to you. More often than not you have the best hand going in when you hold the ace. Aggression is the name of the game shorthanded. YOU MUST RAISE WHEN YOU HAVE THE BEST STARTING HAND. If you don't raise with an ace in hand, then your certainly missing out on doing just that very often. So what if you get dominated occassionally. Your going to be profitable raising your aces every time there's weakness at a table like this. Of course you always fold to a raise before you. That will help you avoid the ace face hands.

If A2-A9 off suited, is it wrong to raise when there is only one limper before you ? 
I am talking about 6max table , limited Texas Hold'em .
