On Absolute, .5/1 table. Somewhat loose table for the most part. Im in CO with A9o. One limper and it's folded to me. Should I be raising this, calling or just folding?

I fold, but if you play it in this situation you should raise it preflop. Because of its high card value, A9 is showdownable head up.

Depends where the limp comes from.You really don't want to be in for two bets against a BB and an UTG limp (assuming he as any concept at all of position, which might be a stretch.)Folding is a lot easier. There are better marginal situations to maximize value from.

If the blinds are weak/tight, and the limper is very loose, I'd probably raise.Most times I'm just throwing this away though.If everyone folded to you, I'm raising more times than not.

I think the limper was UTG+2, and yes he was rather loose, coming into almost every hand.

I think the limper was UTG+2, and yes he was rather loose, coming into almost every hand.Folding's still easier.Poker is easy, don't make it hard.
