I think that your biggest mistake is limping 99-JJ for "set value." Since you are 7.5 to 1 against flopping a set, you have to raise these hands in order to fold-out speculative hands like A-rag suited and the lower suited connectors that can draw-out on you. These hands have very good value PF, and by limping them, you are negating a lot of that value. Another problem is some of the better players will notice what you are doing, they'll be raising 88-JJ and folding when you call and overcards flop. If you had at least 5 players to each flop that you saw limping 88-JJ, you might be getting the right implied (or "set odds") to make this play about break-even. IMO, raising these hands, especially from EP and MP will increase your PFR% and help increase your win-rate as well.
