In a loose 6 max cash game where the action usually goes limp limo and people often flat call your raise wide,
From UTG Would you be raising 22-88 or folding or open limping?
Also From EP would you raise or fold broadway suited hands eg: KTs, QTs?
You opening 66-99 utg?I'd open these broadways. The low pockets 55-22 I would open-Limp if you think it's going to go trough without a raise after you. Given the rake at lowstakes setmining from utg is marginally +ev at best.
Also if you feel you get flatted to much increase your openraise size. If there is a lot of 3betting then lower it.
You opening 66-99 utg?
As a guidance, I would not openly limp any hand, except for the SB in case the BB is weak i.e. action is folded to you in the SB or facing lots of other limpers.
Sure, but OP asked about exploiting fish. Open-limp should by no means be our default strategy.Typically if I face limpers, will reaise and CBET w/o mercy and they loose most of the time with their junk ranges.

In terms of KTs and KJs, I think it is too weak opening from UTG. If you call a 3 bet you are OOP. Even if hitting K, T, J on the board in a horrible spot against tight ranges such as KQ+, AT+, JJ+. Recipe for disaster if opponent is aggressive and you keep calling. These hands typically don't want to play big pots. The only strong hands are KTs, KJs flush or straight draws which do not come along that often (also dominated/blocked by nut A holdings of opponents) so folding and loosing chips is default action when facing aggression with these hands most of the time. Typically good for IP play when you can pot control (CU, BU) keeping the SB, BB in with all their junky calling ranges.
In summary would open 66+, QJ+, A10+ from UTG. Would use RFI charts from various sites such as Blackrain, ChardChat or Johnathan Little and adjust according to the table. Aggressive tables (lots of 3Betting) tight opening ranges, weak tables opening a bit wider in order to see a cheap flops.
