Why would you want to raise with hands like medium pairs, medium aces, and suited high cards? If there are a bunch or limpers, these are good hands to limp with. These hands play well in a multiway pot. They are hands you would usually raise with if it was passed to you in late position, but they are hands you would pass with in a lot of situations. You have no reason to believe that your hand is better than those of the limpers in the pot. I would only raise if I thought I could steal the pot.

With AJ or AT, you could raise limpers from the CO or button, but as you say you are out of position in the BB after the flop. I would generally fold A9 or less in this situation unless it was suited. With limpers in the pot, I would usually call with any suited ace.

I agree with this post.

It also depends on where the limpers are coming from. If they are EP or MP limpers, mid pocket pairs and hands like AT aren't necessarily close to the best hand, and you may easily get called out of position by hands that you're only a slight favorite to.

If, however, there are only LP limpers, raising might be good here. My thought process is that these players are going to raise with a wide range of hands, and since they did not, I suspect weakness.
