Steal blinds with low pocket pairs?

Hello chaps.

Just going through the list of poker thoughts I made during my last session and wanted to ask for opinions on the longterm profitability of stealing blinds with 22, 33 and 44. I use poker stove to choose the hands that stack up reasonably against 2 random hands and my blind stealing against people who I have no reliable data on starts at K6o, J9o, Q8o, suited Kx, Ax etc. Its wierd but 22 and 33 don't seem to fair well against the average random hand yet 44 does.

Do any of you guys omit those very small PPs from you stealing range against unknown apponants?

Pokerstove doesn't tell you how they play post-flop.

With 22 you're almost never going to give value, with Q7o you're going to often pay off bigger Q's and 7's.

PP's are in my standard raising range from every position so there's no way in hell I'm open folding them on the BTN.
