In SSHE, etc..., it is said that if you have a loose game, you can profitablly call w/ hands like J9s under the gun because when you hit your hand, you'll win a big pot because everyone staying in give you the implied odds, so for example, if 5-6 people limp to you, you can raise on the button w/ hands like 55 and 98s. It also says, though, that if you have a hand like QTo, you are the one giving the implied odds to everyong drawing to 2 pair, gutshots, etc.

Does this mean that if I have QTo/KTo on the button and there are a lot of limpers to me that I should be inclined to fold these hands even though the pot is growing large at this point? How many hands would QT and the like want to play vs. in a typical low-limit $2/$4 $3/$6 game? 3-4 and not really any more?

Thanks,

have a nice day,
