Oh goodie, I get to try out a boilerplate response!

No, you're wrong. Big pairs still have a huge equity advantage. Big pairs can make big hands and drag huge pots: big sets and full houses, even two pair where a blank pairs on board. And no matter what your selective memory tells you, overpairs win their fair share even in multiway pots; you just don't remember those days that aces held up to beat top pair of kings ten kicker.

Any time you can get people to put in money as an underdog you should do so. And a LOT of people in a $3/6 game will be happy to put in money as an underdog.

See SSHE, the part about AK as a drawing hand or why you should raise AJs or something like that, toward the back.

I did not say that Aces weren't a good hand or that they never hold up. That sentence was intended to illustrate the fact that these numbnuts who play low limit casino holdem will chase you all the way & the more that chase you, the less apt your good hands are to hold up unimproved. I did not say never! Learn how to read between the lines!
