Default Attacking limpers with marginal hands from cutoff/button

I like to raise limpers and attack preflop weakness from late position. It's cool when it works, you pick up a small pot with a marginal/crappy hand. But I find that it frequently gets me in trouble because I'm playing marginal hands in large pots. I just doubled up this total moron when I raised with JTs and he called with KJo... unfortunately, because of the large pot that I created, I was getting such good odds that I couldn't possibly get away from the hand when he checkraised me on the turn, even though I was sure my pair of jacks was no good. And I feel horrible about it, because I know I'm better than that and this is the kind of stupid [censored] that I really try to avoid doing.

Is this a play others frequently make? What hands should I be raising with? I find the worst hand for this play to be medium suited connectors because they don't have any real high card strength and if you pick up a draw you usually have to fold them if you get checkraised. Would reasonable standards be ATs+/KJs+/88+? What about low suited connectors? Is it even worth it to pick up a a PTbb or two?
