Re: 44, Too Aggressive Pre-Flop? Too Passive on the Flop?
My standard play with small pocket pairs (22-55) in mid/late position behind one limper is to limp. 44 is almost never enough for me to want to raise if anyone has entered the pot. Why not limp here? You're quite likely to encourage the button and both blinds to come along and build a sufficient pot to try to flop a set, in position. Raising is not great, in my opinion, as it'll be hard to bully your way through this pot, particularly as the fish in the big blind will likely come along and not want to fold any time soon.
After the action and that flop, you are done with the hand. Check the flop and don't put any more money in the pot unless you hit a set.
