Default PF Raising and Continuation bet?

Hello,
I play 1/2$ blinds 100$ NL at sycuan b&m casino. most games have Oponents that range from inexperienced players that call too much to solid-agressive types.
Generaly, PF i raise with a-j, a-q, a-k, kq, and pket 9s+ from any position, and in late position if only 0-2 limpers a-10, k-j as well.
Couple questions:
1) as standard am i being too lose raising with a-j/k-q from early position?
2)Considering the small stack size relative to blinds, should i be making it 7-8 when i raise (almost always get callers) or like 10-12 to narrow field? I like being consistent by almost always raising the same amount to prevent reads so id liek to choose 1 option and stick with it.
3)If there are 1-3 players on flop with me after i raise PF i usually CB if its checked to me (hit or not). The bet is between 3/4 pot and pot, is that a generaly sound strategy and good size to bet?
4) Are my CBs goign to be more sucesful if i bet into face cards i didnt pair or ragged flopes?

With AJ KQ bad position, i would say its a little lose. But if you are in a 6max table full of fishes, with position i would say raise everytime.

If you know you are going to have callers after you, you have to make sure that you hand is strong. You cannot raise with KJs w/o position if you know you are going to have callers after you. It is very imporante that you isoloate yourself against a fish. What is even more important is that you have position on him. Also, when the flop hit, and he checks, bet anywhere between 1/2Pot or pot. , with position vs a fish when the flop hits.

Im sorry, i pressed the enter key.

As i was saying, if you know you are going to have callers after you, you have to make sure you hand is very strong. This is because when you raise, you want to isolate yourself with one other person, and have postion on him. In NLHE, you miss over 50% of the time. SO if he checks you always want to bet .5pot to pot every single time depending on the flop. For example, if the flop is something like A22, .5pot bet will make the same amount of ppl fold as pot bet. You said you raise with AJ AQ AK KQ and pocket pair 9+ in any position, is ok, but AJ is no that strong of a hand. But you can play these hands and many more if you have postition and playing isolated against a fish. YOu can even play hands like Axs 9Ts QTs JTs and many more. so, basically the most important thing is to isolate yourself vs fish, and have position on him.

With loose opponents, be careful with raising AJ-AT,KQ-KJ in late position with limpers. You have an ugly situation on the flop when you get multiple callers with these hands. I would normally limp these hands in position and play the flop strong when I flop a pair or better. It's probably okay to limp AJ-AT and KQ in early position in these games, but you don't lose too much by just folding up front. The general formula 2+2ers use to raise with limpers is 4bb+ 1bb per limper. This is roughly a potsized raise.
