Lately I've been opening a lot of pots in late position no matter what two cards I have with a 3x the BB range. This doesn't get me into too much trouble and I pick up many pots just chopping away and stealing blinds or making continuation bets on the flop. You can't let the blinds eat you up so I think you get aggressive in the cutoff and the button and open pots that haven't been raised. You'll gather respect this way and add to your chip stack.
