25NL
I recently switched to 25NL FR from 6max, and noticed an absurd amount of passive players/tables limping. Just wanted to gather some thoughts on how to play these tables, since it also reminds me of 1/2 live NL.
Considering most of these players are passive and I have LAG image, here is a frequent example.
After 3 or so limpers, I usually Bet medium to premium hands T9o+, 22+ in MP or LP at 6x($1.25) and maybe 7x. Doing this I usually get some folds to play HU and/or collection of dead money pre. However I'll fold everything to a limp r/r, but call minraises, again IP.
HU or 3 handed I cbet half to 2/3 on dry boards 90% of the time if the flop doesn't crash into their calling range. I usually give up if the turn doesn't get scarier w/ a higher card. on the board. On wet boards I check the flop and give up on fired turns.
Am I doing the right thing? Or how else should I play these pots?

Reason: added more info
Don't be as aggressive pre when you have limpers. Those are the hands you want to limp in with multiway with low-mid pps and scs. Vs one opponent, go ahead and raise, but multiway, play some post flop poker. You can iso with your paint. Also, bet-bet-bet for value. It seems harder now to get people to call three streets than half a year ago for some reason (maybe it's because I'm at 100NL now), but they will still station up on you.
and 109 is not a premium hand vs 3-5 limpers. Narrow your raising range if that's what you are iso-ing
Post flop seems okay, though I think you can be a bit more aggressive to take pots down. stack-a-donk works well on these sites too.
