Post The All Mighty Set, 2 - 5's

I love little pocket pairs in NLH, especially in games where the competition is tight. First of all, when the competition is tight, people are playing big hands, hands like AK, AQ, KQs, big pairs, etc. When you flop a set with a tiny pair, it is totally innocuous. Just think how bad you can punish someone when he limps in with KQ and flops K-Q-2 when you have 22. I play any pocket pair, in any position. I'll even pay the raiser preflop to see the flop. So if I limp in with 22 and get raised 3 or 4x the big blind and I think my opponent is likely to get trapped, I'll call.

Well.... I guess I would say sometimes. Any pocket pair is great to see the flop if you can get in with a reasonable bet. I probably wouldn't go all in with it, but 2x or even 3x might be ok depending on amount and chip stack. And yes, you can clean up if you happen to hit the trips, but keep in mind this is a low probability.
