Default General thoughts on low PP in LP/CO at a loose/passive table

A situation that I've been encountering lately in the SNG's I play (6 & 15 turbos on stars) is that I'll have a table full of limpers and pick up 44-66 (i guess this applies to some slightly stronger PPs as well.) The table is usually passive and loose. So it gets to me with 3 limpers plus blinds.

Early and late how are you playing these? Early I'm limping with anything under TT. Late, depending on the number of people in the pot I'm tossing in a hefty raise. How do you guys play hands in these situations?

My thought process is as follows:
- loose players are going to call for another 2/3 BB in the early stages which just puts me in a bad position when i don't flop my set
-i'll get paid off huge on my set when i make it by limping
- i can get out cheap if i miss
- late in tournies any raise will get called by high cards and weak aces where i can take it from the flop and go from there

am i passing up any major chip opportunities with this basic strategy?

This is the EXACT way that I play these hands, so I guess geniuses really do think alike, lol.

I'm curious about what others think though.
