Not at all. Both are loose enough to have a Q. Check/call a reasonable bet as you did, I think

99 Raise from that position a good idea? Its a hand i dont know whether to limp or raise most times.
It depends :D
Most here would advocate a raise with it I think. Depends on the big picture of what kind of image you want to give off and how loose/passive the table is. At a table full of loose cold-callers with a LAG mixed in, I'd rather limp in EP and if it's raised behind you know you're at best 50/50 but you'll have some set value hopefully. If you raise UTG and get reraised you probably don't have the odds to call for set value. If you raise and get 2 or 3 callers, the flop is not likely to be good for you and you end up OOP with 2nd or 3rd pair and vari0us draws out there.
Agree with AHiltz-- a call there looks as ominous as a 3bet so get it in with likely the best hand. Hopefully villains have 88, 22, AQ, KQ. JsTs is certainly in range but so are 98 and Q8. You're beating too much to not get it all in here.
