You didn't mention what games you're playing so I'll assume we're talking about low/micro stakes NLHE. If that's the case then you don't need to broaden starting hands. You should probably tighten up.

That being said, you can probably get away with playing 1-2 gappers behind 2+ limpers or in a raised pot (3-4xBB) with 2-3 callers. If it's folded to you then you can raise in late position or from the SB.

This is all assuming that you're going to play well after the flop. Don't push your bottom two pairs, dummy straights, or low flushes like the nuts.

It also depends on how big your stack is and how big are the stacks of the other players. If it is a high stack game and you can see the flop cheaply, then it's no error to play with these hands - they offer you the chance to flop a monster and win a lot of money, so you have high implied odds.
If you are short-stacked, however, wait for a better hand.

One thing i used to do alot is play too many hands, depending on the game, but usually i try to just play better hands then that. if i get a feeling i might play them, but if you wait for the right hand you will be much better off. patience.
