Im thinking about the way im playing pocket pairs. Im playing them nearly all the time.
The more often I see a flop with a PP, the more I will get a set.

If Im utg I can let go of 22 33 44 fairly easily, but once Im in MP with 66 its a standard open raise to 6cents, if I have 99+ I'll make it a bit more and of late Im sticking a good bet in with QQ KK AA.

In this case villain is pretty aggro with a fairly wide range. Im in the BB with 8's so terrible position, but he has a full stack and is likely to pay if I hit?

Hero (BB): $2.23 - VPIP: 13, PFR: 9, 3B: 3, AF: 2.3, Hands: 17204
UTG: $1.39 - VPIP: 37, PFR: 0, 3B: 0, AF: 1.0, Hands: 38

Pre Flop: ($0.03) Hero is BB with 8 8
1 fold, UTG+1 calls $0.02, MP raises to $0.08, 3 folds, Hero calls $0.06, UTG+1 calls $0.06

Flop: ($0.25) 7 A 3 (3 players)
Hero checks, UTG+1 checks, MP bets $0.18, Hero folds, UTG+1 folds




This is super standard for me, play a pair, no set fold to the bet. Im worried I call looking for a set too often and perhaps playing too passively, any thoughts?

Just one advice. You might want to change both tables. At least the first one. There are only a bunch of nitty guys who only play when they have it. The one that you said is the aggro one is probabely the only one that have the stats of a guy who knows how to play.
Also The second hand there is only one guy that you can expect to make profit from withc is the guy from the button. .Remember that there is no greater skill in poker than table selection. The bigger the number of fish at the table the better.
Also looking at your PP stats. As you can see. A lot of the profit comes from playing PP. It is normal though. And it is normal to play them agressive.

Isn't folding 66 pre in the second hand really standard in FR?

Yes, I missed that he wasnt fully stacked. If he had $2 is this a call?, or are you folding 66 to an utg range?

fold in 6max or FR, even if he's got $2, just not a great spot for our hand altogether, ditch the marginal spots.
