How do you feel about that in a serious game you came a couple of twos or threes.Will you play or ask.Personally, I only play them when I'm in the lead.
When I'm in a "serious game" and get a low pocket pair I'll open for 2BBs or call up to 3BBs. Yeah you're not going to beat anyone who pairs the board, but there's about a 10% chance of hitting trips. This means there's about a 12% which outplays almost all odds of hitting "greater hands" on the flop (i.e. the odds of flopping a flush is about 6%). Plus, when you do hit a low set there is a great chance that no one will see you coming, meaning you can usually scoop a huge pot. So, yeah, I play/open small pairs in serious games.
In "non-serious" games I'll open up and call up to 5Bs for isolation purposes.
I love the small pairs as well nothing like a set of ducks with an action card on the flop. However they have failed me a few time to a larger set arrgg.
it depends of the situation, if it s tournament or cash games , usually I ll call see what the flop will bring , maybe see the turn, also , it will be better to play those hands only against 1/2 players. SO that the chances of winning the hand don t get lower.
