Nice article.
I like to play small pairs, but I only call raises when I have a huge stack. Feels good when you hit and make trips.
My lucky hand: 66

I will play small pocket pairs only from early positions if the price is right. Article was very helpful. Thank you scawnybob. I appreciate any and all help.

playing small pairs is ok but dont call any fair size raises ith them take in to consideration if you flop the set your not automatically (felt) him take his chips every time so it's not really wort it to call a raise limp in if you can

[JohnyBagadonuts]

always play small pairs if the price is right or you can limp in. be weary however of flush n straight draw possibilities of course but you have to see the flop if possible. when you hit..control the excitement and focus on how it should be played. when you miss..ehh who gives a shit throw it away and watch the donks play.

depending on my stack i like to limp with smll pair hopein to make trips

Im a fan of limping and catching trips. If there's a substantial raise behind me, I tend to fold small pairs. Unless, of course, I have a humongous stack.

Nice article. A lot of players don't understnd the skill it takes to play these hands. Often times, they are overplayed and cost people a lot of their chips. It definately helps to play small pairs with skill and caution.
