Just curious what you guys do here with hands like KQ KJ QJ AT and TT. At loose tables raising 4x the bb results in tons of callers with A trash, K trash and Q trash calling, and when they hit, it results in a big leak.
Would you guys reommend just limping in with these hands at a Loose table?
EDIT: Add QQ and JJ to that list. Look at tracker, I lost 4 out of 5 QQ today to K trash or A trash, and 7 out of 10 JJ to the nearly the same thing.

If 4xbb doesn't do it, try 6xbb or 8xbb. See what the other players are betting and emulate it.

fold KQ KJ QJ in EP, limp in MP+, and if its folded to me in LP or there is like one limper than I will raise those hands. AT I really only play for a raise in LP when folded to me. TT, JJ,QQ I am always raising, against people with looser raising standards I will often 3 bet those hands, not raising those pocket pairs is a big leak. And it isnt a leak when they hit their hands, you not getting away from your mediocre hand is the leak

Fold any off suit hands out of position (Especially KJ KQ AT etc any hand vulnerable to domination) and reraise w/ QQ JJ or TT. Oftentimes I play TT for set value not for over-pair value. Dump QQ and JJ on the flop if there are overcards. Don't get attached to your high PP! Try and call raises w/ any PP to hit a set. Sets will make the most money for you as noobs will get attached to their TPTK and Top two pair hands.. Also call w/ Ax suited to flop a draw are two pair. I have stacked many players at micro stakes when I play AX suited vs their AJ or AQ suited which hits top pair. Overall, set/two pair/nut camp and thats all you need....

If hes talking about a loose passive table then I wouldnt be reraising JJ and TT preflop.
Most of these guys dont raise much without big hands. If its a LAG table then you can reraise these.
