Default Preflop strategy question

This may be a simple question but I'm curious the right answer to this.

I recently played a table with a guy two to my right who had about a 95/8 VPIP so he was limping with almost anything. The guy to my left is a standard TAG.

When he is the only limper and you are in the small blind what hands are you calling/raising with?

For example 95/8 CO calls, everyone folds to you, and you are in the small blind with A4o.

Is this a raise/call/fold?

A raise hopefully creates dead money in pot from BB and we most likely have pot equity here but we are out of position and have a reverse implied odds hand.

Call allows BB in for free and is a good player who I'd prefer not to play this pot against but allows you to cheaply see the flop with a marginal hand.

Fold keeps us from playing a reverse implied odds and a possible reraise from the BB.

Thoughts?

Raise A4o. But only because he is THAT loose and bad and because BB is tight. You really want to play pots against bad players.
