Ok ive posted this here to see if i can get some banter going on this.

How do you guys play (and recommend playing pocket pairs) in cash games only. Forget mtts and tourney play im talking playing for cash.

Personally if im holding anything less than pocket tens i want to see a flop. Ill call any raise upto 4xbb (5xbb sounds an awful lot with a pp) and i dump them if i dont have an overpair or a set unless i can see cards for a real cheap price, and i guess im not losing. With anything pocket tens or higher im coming in behind a 4 or 5bb raise.

Im asking this because recently ive seen a new trend (seems new to me anyway at my site) of raising preflop with a pocket pair then hammering the flop regardless of it being high or low. Ive caught one of two out with AQ and AK by catching overcards and feeling them out or just literally calling one or two down when ive decided i dont like the way there trying to buy pots (not great play i know but ive got most of them labelled now)
Thus i guess im asking what you guys think of such play. I wouldnt do it even in the case of mixing it up, gona get stung too many times. And im developing a pretty lagg style too but that seems slightly too aggressive outside mtt play.
