What should I play out of the SB?

Do I call with K8o? Q6s? I play at the low stakes tables, so in many instances others are playing even worse hands. Do I loosen up or play the same types of hands?

No.

Low stakes or not. Playing poker is about cashing in on the bad players bad calls. Not replicating them.
I don't know what they have to say
It makes no difference anyway.
Whatever it is...
I'm against it.

I would if this was no limit. You hit two pair/decent trips/fullhouse/quads about 3% of the time. If your and your opponent's stacks are deep enough (more than 33 times the amount you have to call in the SB to cover the BB) and the competition is bad enough (low limit? yea) and they'll go all in with TPTK to your two pair or two pair to your trips etc. Then the implied pot odds dictate that it's worth playing those two hands for at least two pair. Play anything less than two pair cautiously though.
What's the difference between a large cheese pizza and a poker player?

A large cheese pizza can feed a family of four.
