1/2 - Calling range for btn in limped family pot 1/2 - Calling range for btn in limped family pot

Just started playing live - so loose passive.

Here's the question. Full Ring - 1/2 NL. I'm on the button. Everyone limps in front of me. Blinds tend to just limp along in the game. What is my calling range? (ideally you have a little math to back it up)

Thanks!

22-99, A2s-ATs, KTs+, Q9s+, J9s+, 78s+, off suit Broadways but otherwise almost no other unsuited hands.

Not overlimping hands like 88 or 99 from the btn.

Yeah you can definitely raise those hands. Nothing wrong with that. Only issue is that there's 6 limpers in front so you'll have to make it huge if you wanna take it down or try to get HU. If you get called, which is very likely at 1/2, the pot will be bloated and you'll hate most flops. And you risk running into a l/r by an EP limper. Or someone could spaz out with AT or 44 and you'll be forced to fold to their shove.

Meanwhile, you can limp and set mine with direct odds. And flopping a set multiway tends to result in a huge pay off.

At described table, I have no calling range. Raise it up, or chuck it.

Edit: I actually don't have a calling range in any late position in a limpy, passive game.
