I personally prefer to call with this hand! Being in the position we will be able to make a better decision!Hi everyone, so I assume that 3bet or 4bet with AK/QQ/KK/AA maybe QK/AK/AJ/JJ/TT at button is a given. But what about 77-TT and suited connectors +89s?
Thanks for your input.
Personally I flat middle pocket pairs
With low pairs or connectors I limp and it's worked very good for me. Since you limp they write you off.
The problem with your low/medium pairs is the flop, even if you hit trips you are still behind. Because almost all of the time there is an overcard.
Riddle me this, MP raises x2.5 and you cold call your 8d8s Flop, 8h2d9s- he raises 50% you call. Turn, Ah. he checks, you raise +35% V calls. River Kd. he checks again, you value bet +35% V raises. Here what happens? What would you do? Does he have a better trips, V missed his flash/ have two over pairs? Moral of the story, a 3bet was in order.
The for both, advice and clarification.You can post your hand for review here:

ps.I have been making this mistake too , if we hold a pocket pair then we can hit a set by hitting a third card on the board , that's why we call the pre flop action ''set mining''. We call it trips when we hold the third card in a paired board
