Low pocket pairs are very situational for me. In the early position if the blinds are large, I will fold 5s or 6s and lower. If I'm in the middle or late position and a raise of 3X BB has been made ahead of me, I will fold anything under pocket 8s. If I'm in the late position and everyone has folded in front of me, I will raise 3 X BB to get hopefully scare off the rest of the table and just steal blinds. Anything else I will simply try to limp in and hope to hit the set. If I don't hit on the flop and there is a bet of 3X BB or more, I will fold. If a small bet or check comes to me, I will check/call and hope to catch something on the turn. I don't play these anywhere nearly as aggressive as my set starting hands because the chance of wining with a low pair is not very high.
