well usually with small pocket pairs you'll be open folding pre, folding to a raise(not giving us good odds, their ranges are too wide, good chance someone behind us may open the betting again), overlimping, or open raising. Obviously we don't have to play the hands we fold pre, so we be in spots where we have overlimped pre or had open raised. When we overlimp we pretty much give up all the fold equity our hand had, so we just end up set mining and folding if we miss. If we raise pre it's not really that hard to play on the flop because we won't usually be cbetting for a few reasons assuming we miss. 1) The hands we fold out will almost always be worse than ours (not folding better) 2) The worse hands in his range won't call (we aren't getting value). If villain bets then we can peel a card trying to get to showdown or just fold, depending on raise size and his range.
