You're losing value by not playing pocket pairs in these pots. Raise them bad boys to isolate the limper, you'll be surprised at how many pots you'll win unimproved and even bigger pots when you do hit a set as your hand is mighty concealed. |
Sometimes it's also good to limp along if your table is guaranteed to pay off if you hit your set. |
usually, with 1 limper, this is not the best. Raise to get the blinds out and you're more than a 50% favorite here HU. With another person in the pot your hand plays much differently and you are stuck folding to a donk bet on the flop than continuing on most boards..
