Let’s cut to the chase: small pairs (pocket Sixes down to Twos) are often a seductive loser – a leak that most players need to plug in their game. At best, you’re in late position, where the play of them is fairly straightforward: if a lot of people have called, and you think no one behind you will raise, go ahead and call, take a cheap flop, and hope to flop a set. You can’t get into too much trouble calling with pocket Threes when the flop comes A-K-Q. Only a true kamikaze would lose money from that flop forward, especially in a crowded field.
