Play Them Crazy or Prudent

Every time some of these couples hand me out, a lot of doubts assail me. How do you play them?

Sometimes I play any pair like they are AA.

Sometimes I play any pair just looking to hit trips on the flop or fold.

But the prudent play is to be very careful and know your opponent and your pot odds.

i always play with 2bb pre flop and if i have high pair or set on the flop i continue to play or else i fold
