Typically, if there are likely 5-6 in a pot, I often come in with 6-7, 7-8, 9-7 suited.
If there are enough people seeing a flop, should I be raising with these hands? Should I always call or should I be folding most of time?
You can play suited cards worse than these as long as you're not playing them from early position. Playing hands like these OOP can be a big leak. You can sneak into pots with these in loose passive games but be mindful of position. You can also cold call a raise assuming it's gonna be a big mw pot and the table isn't overly agro post flop.
I might over limp or I might raise based on whether it gains me strategic advatanges post flop.
I may raise mw or just call based on my image and the dynamics of the game.
