limit players.... how do you play pocket pairs?

[BrianSwa]

I know im gonnna get yelled at for this but i try not to run pocket pairs unless im in real late position as there only worth 1 bet and the odds of hitting your set are very slim. I go by the phrase see flop for as cheap as possible so i never raise the blinds unless im holding AA,KK,AK,QQ,QK(my lucky hand), anything else id rather see the flop before i invest any large sum of money into the pot since most other hands can be beaten pretty easy. This is my personal prefrence and seems to work good for me usually wont run paired 7's and under unless i get to look at flop free 8,9 usually one bet for me 10,j usuall 2 i will call since a 3rd bet would indicate im probolly already behind and need to hit the set to make a hand and anything over that id probolly cap (Q,K,A).

although it would sound contrary to popular theory, with small pp in low limit games, I tend to raise more in early position, and call/check in late position/blinds. Trying to make as many players fold as possible if early, they of course will hold up better against fewer players, and are more playable after the flop. If I'm in late position/blinds I will basically try to flop set, or dont get too overcommited, because this is usually a family pot.
