Curious about how you play your small pairs, cause a lot of people play them wrong.

Anyway, I play short handed, and I play LAG, so I will give you my answer. After glancing at the other posts, two things I saw I will echo: It depends on the situation, and position.

In short-handed (six or fewer players) I will open-raise with SC from any position. First position, no problem. If it's a tight game, I will open raise with even 23s from UTG. If it is an aggressive game, I will start around 76s from UTG. If it is a REALLY aggressive game, I don't raise from UTG with small SCs.

I almost never call with them from out of position. I will call with them in position if I think I can outplay someone postflop, and if I think I can get big implied odds with them if I hit big. (I will not call a raise from a small stack.)

If one person limps ahead, I will raise to isolate and take down the flop with a c-bet (this, like everything else, depends heavily on the opponent and the way they play, but this is typical). If two people limp, I may raise to isolate, depending on the nature of the table, or I will limp behind. If three or more limp, I will limp to see a cheap flop.

Hope this helps.
