What to do in late position with lots of limpers?

Let's say I'm in late position (the button or cut-off) holding something good like 99 or AJs. There's 4 limpers in behind me. Being a generally loose low limit table with no specific reads on people, what should my play generally be? Raise to put more money in the pot with a good hand or just limp and try and hit a good hand (and check/fold if I miss the flop since there are probably going to be 5/6 people in the hand)? Also, is this a stupid question?

Not a stupid question imo, but you should raise with both of these hands and more probably with that many limpers, probably worth raising 66+ and ATs KJs+ because you should have a decent equity edge preflop against that many players i.e more than 20% 5 handed more than 16.7% 6 handed.

With the AJs you can win some decent pots with just an Axx flop and sometimes you will get straight or flush draws as well.

With that many players you will win most of the money with 66-JJ when you flop a set but you should still raise because people will pay you off royally when you do hit, plus you will win sometimes when you don't improve as well.
