im just saying that i flat out hate playing mid-low pocket pairs out of position...ok so you raise with 66...and the board comes 2 8 T...with one caller behind you...you continuation bet, he calls...and you just wasted the raise and bet...bc you cant call a reraise or a big bet on the turn of any kind....plus if someone reraises you preflop after you raise...you throw it away? i do so if your gonna raise just to fold, why raise at all, i feel it takes away from play later on in that position, you can also limp in early position with a monster and reshove on someone when they try to steal...limp in set up then bet....it works better for me...pocket pairs are a weak hand if you take the flop with more than one person...im not one to put even 1/3 of my stack on the line with a small PP...
