How do small pairs usually play?

[BetterThanAvgButNotByMuch]

Think this and how to play QQ, JJ are the most asked questions, lol. The important thing is you're actively thinking about it and working with different solutions until you find one that works for yourself.

It depends on how people play at my table and whether in which position I play, but in general I usually fold the little pairs preflop

If you are UTG with 33 and raise preflop then you might get a re-raise or even an all-in. online poker is crazy i sometimes do that and then get tempted to call. Of course most of times i dont like the outcome. So for me its better to limp and wait for flop,if they all in i can always fold easier

With a large stack, set mine with them. When the stacks are low the implied odds to hit a set aren't available, so only play them in an unraised pot.

Small pairs is a tricky situation, especially with possible villain Aces.

When I'm first to talk I only play pairs from 6 up to UTG, and I open the range as I get closer to the button.

When I am not the first to talk, if it is a mini raise I simply fold or call in case of steal positions.
Finally, if there's a limp, I'll also follow with a limp.
