I raise the first two. KT I overlimp, but only on the button. A9os, I raise or fold, depending on how I've seen limpers play.

I'm going to get flack for overlimping KT from a lot of good players. I only overlimp this on the button itself, and I assume we have fairly passive blinds too. KT is a hand that never, ever plays a big pot easily -- but it plays small pots just fine. We can control pot size fairly easily from the button, and we can use the position to take pots even if we miss the flop.

You have to be real comfortable post flop to overlimp and to know why you're doing it to make it work. I don't have any problem with anyone saying fold it or raise it.

My philosophy on this is pretty straight forward. I raise limpers with hands that play big pots well when they hit, and small pots well when they miss. pp's, suited connectors, Ax suited -- these all fit that criterion. KT doesn't. A9 doesn't. These are small pot hands that need to get to showdown cheap if they hit modestly.
