Hi. I'm interested in knowing anyone's opinion on how to play pocket pairs preflop when others are going all-in for 1/4 of your stack or so.
Usually I will fold if I have low pocket-pair, just to conserve my stack and because it seems unlikely I'll hit trips. But I notice often that my pocket pairs would have hit, and I'm sure others have watched their folded pockets hit too.
So, should I change my strategy and start calling large raises/all-ins if it only means giving up a 1/3 to a 1/4 of my stack? or sit back and let everyone else at the pot? Thanks.
