Playing Small Pocket Pairs Pre-Flop

[PShabi]

I'm gonna assume No Limit, because that's what most of the new members play.

I like to try to limp early, but if table conditions lead me to believe that I won't get in cheap, I'll just muck them. Cheap flops are good.

If I'm in late position, I'll often raise them up if no one is in yet. Just trying to steal the blinds.

I also don't mind calling a small raise in position, as long as it's not more than say, 5% of my chip stack.
