Thoughts on problem starters...

UTG with 5-7 way action. No way! Big unsuited cards just do not play well with a lot of company. Limp, yeah, although I most likely would muck the ATo UTG.

Middle position - Open limp except the AJo, raise. If limpers in front of me, limp with all. (Late middle I would open raise w ith all on a steal)

Cut-off & Button - Open raise. Resteal (3 bet) a CO raiser IF I know him/her to be capable of attempting a steal. Same for SB position. I do know some players that just won't raise unless they have full values.

Big unsuited cards beg for head up action. If I can't get it, I tread very lightly.

Because AJo and KQo are not worth a raise in EP. You limp in a loose passive game hoping to see the flop for a single bet against hands like A4o and T9. Raising certainly won't get AA, KK, QQ, or AK to fold in fact it will now cost you 3 bets to see the flop with a marginal hand out of position. See HEPFAP page 175.

doesnt this depend on the likeness of them folding behind you to a raise? what if they will coldcall it? are you going to raise anyways?

let's say it's a very passive game preflop and a raise wont lose anyone? then what? fold it? i wouldnt.
