Message: [QUOTE="Lavitz, post: 288334, member: 458"] You WILL make good money if you call with low pocket pairs. If you pull a low set on the flop you can bet that you will probably make up to 10/15 times the blind (at least)in low limit (2 cent/4 cent)games with a set, well worth the risk of a blind. People will bet based on high pair or draws. Two hands in a row i pulled a set with pocket 7's then pocket 5's in 2 cent 4 cent games. So i paid 8 cents in blinds and I ended up winning over 5 dollars.Thats enough to limp in on about 125 more blinds. People will bet strong with high pair/high kicker and/or two pair. When they bet strong you can slow play your set, assuming there's no straight or flush draw on the table.It's well worth the low risk. The only time I might fold preflop is either if someone makes a decent sized raise or if I am in a tourney and blinds are raising and there are many callers before me. Odds are, if I raise, I will have multiple callers unless I raise a large amount or move all in, which I would not do with a low pair unless we are late in a tourney Also, as of my stats. Go here and look for yourself. [url="http://www.wizardofodds.com"]www.wizardofodds.com[/url] With a pair of 2's and another random hand in the pot, a pair of 2's has a 50 percent chance to win. This would not be fitting with multiple people of course because the caller will most likely have a good hand, not a random hand. However, when a tourney is down to its final stages this would be a good strategy. Pocket pairs are a great tourney hand in the final stages. [/QUOTE]
