Pocket Pairs and Suited Connectors vs passive fish Pocket Pairs and Suited Connectors vs passive fish

I mix my time between Stars (to improve) and a local regional site (more profit and is more similar to live which I intend to transition to eventually). The tables are absurdly soft filled with passive fish with 35-70% VPIP, 0-10% PFR and 1% 3bet. I can just barrel 3 streets of pot size bets or overbets and they are never ever folding top pair and sometimes 2nd pair or just call large bets with draws.

Anyway, in late position I happily raise these hands, but in early position while sometimes a 5x gets through I'll often get 1-2 callers and I'm playing with a smaller SPR with a hand I would rather be playing deeper. Although sometimes I might just limp weak connectors/pocket pairs due to an insane edge postflop and almost 0 risk of someone applying pressure, I was wondering what everyone thinks of opening 3x or raising to 4x over a few limpers. I won't get raised and I'll be going multiway with a hand that plays well multiway/deep in a big pot without much investment. I've been trying that over the past few days with some success, but it's obviously a small sample size and I'm curious if I have the right idea since I'm building a pot with very little money actually put into the pot by me.

How would you play suited connectors/pocket pairs with little to no fold equity here? Limp (again your limp will often lead to a 5 way pot with everyone limping behind with little chance of a raise), raise small to build a pot for cheap, or raise my standard sizing and hope it gets through. Folding seems out of the question as I want to see as many flops as possible.

play everything remotely good against the fish, raise small pre as you still want to build the pots a bit (unless you can successfully overbet flops and turns to get stacks in by the river), never bluff and vbet wider and big
