I usually go all in. The chances are if some one has connectors or even high cards they usually fold.

with low pocket pairs i have found that you have to raise big before the flop to try to weed out the weaker hands so you can go heads up for the coin flip situation if you do get a call but if someone raises before me i will sometimes fold not wanting to get beat by a higher pocket pair

I usually play as low as possible in hopes for flopping something good. For example, with pocket 2's, I will play till the flop.

I like to just try and see a flop and hope for trips. Either that or make a big pre-flop raise and hope everyone folds.

I like to play 33 and 55. They seem to be lucky pockets for me. However 77 I lose more times than not, especially if I hit a 7. I will play low pockets if the price is right. But too many chasers out there and 1 over card can kill you.
