Default $10+1: Help me out, no clue what to do with limpers.

For a long time I played the hands where there was one or more limpers as no-push hands (unless of course a good hand). If SNGPT showed the hand red, I just skipped it when checking hand histories.

Lately I've realized that I'm going to chip out too often if I just wait for open push situation. This is especially true on weekends when there are very loose games. It's no use to going bubble or near with 4xBB when everybody else has over 2000 chips and are loose. They just laugh and call your feeble stealing attempt with almost anything. When looking back these hhs on SNGPT, all the hands are red except something like CO+2 < where pushing is -EV anyways.

So I'm reasoning at these common situations (at 10s) where every hand is contested I just have to choose a hand and push. I'm just having hard time to know what are the situations and SNGPT doesn't help you with limpers on hands.

There are probably not easy answer to question "so, when should I push when there are limper(s)", and it depends on situation.. So here are some situations.

Three sample hands where I tried to adjust when open pushing was close to impossible. What do you think?

Preflop: Hero is BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
UTG calls t100, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP1 calls t100, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, SB completes, Hero raises [t850]

UTG was megaloose, other limpers where average 10+1s around 30VP$IP.

Maybe I was too hasty to push with 8xBB, but on the other hand, no-one had shown any strength yet in this hand.

BB (t3635)
UTG (t2485)
Button (t1110)
Hero (t770)

Preflop: Hero is SB with J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to t300</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero raises [t770]

I know that I don't have FE here, but villain was very lag, raising a lots of hands, so I might be ahead here.

Thanks for the help again
