I raise 66 from the SB in a multiway pot 100% of the time. What is our aim by calling?
I raise because:
1. We don't want to play a multiway pot with a small pair because we reduce out equity by doing so; 66 performs best against one or two opponents.
2. We don't want to play a small pot if we hit a set because we reduce our winnings.
3. We don't mind playing OOP because small pairs are pretty much the easiest hands to play OOP.
4. We might just win the pot preflop, which is fine (as it's a couple of BB already, which is what you'll average with small pairs long term anyway)
5. It is more consistent with our overall play. If we raise here with only big pairs/AK, it's obvious what we have. We need to be raising with weaker hands here too.
