Wow I forgot about this old thread. I'd like to edit my first post a little. In the old one, I said that I limp small PP's to set, but now I raise all pocket pairs from all positions unless its UTG with like 5 limpers.
I do these because:
1. Get value from all the stupid crap like A9o, KTs, etc that people limp in with.
2. People rarely hit with those hands, so a continuation bet will usually just win me another pot that I wouldnt have earned had I just limped and mised.
3. Adds deception to your sets. People won't think that that innocent little 4 of hearts on the flop is actually about to cost them dearly.
4. Adds more aggression to your game. Aggression is naturally a good thing. The most successful people in all sports or jobs are the most aggressive and its the same in poker. Adding small PP's to your PFR range just increases the number of hands people see you in there raising with which makes it that much easier to get paid off.
