Default How to adjust to VERY loose shorthanded games?

Hi,

How do you adjust to the very loose shorthanded games? What are the differences in the strategy including preflop raising standards? Sometimes the players will call down almost all your raises preflop and it gets harder to play some borderline hands. For instance,

-I raise A5o on the button and the blinds call, then I bet the flop unimproved and they both call.

-Raise 66 on the button, get 2 callers again, Flop JT4, bet, 2 callers again

- is it good to still raise hands like JQo under the gun when you are likely to have like other 4 players calling it?

Maybe I still should just keep the original 2+2 raising standards anyway. Also there is some advice from sklansky holdem for advanced players saying that when you have TT this is a good hand to play against 2 players or less and sometimes is better just to limp with it, but here on 2+2 not raising it is usually considered weak.

I appreciate any advice on this, thank you.
