Re: small and medium poket pair
[ QUOTE ]
If I'm 7,5:1 to make my set, don't I need to have more than just 2 limpers to limp and see if I flop a set?

If 2 people limp, you get 3.5:1 immediate odds. But you have very nice implied odds - you will almost always make up those two extra BBs and more, if you hit your set in a 4-way pot.

Also, medium pocket pairs don't seem to ever win UI in micro limit where there's usually 3-4 seeing the flop (the games I'm in are like that on average), so Doesn't it make them worth only as much as small pairs? Should I really play from MP hands like 77 or 88? It kinda seems to be losing me moneys

88 and lower are good in multiway pots, where you play for set value, or heads-up, where they can win unimproved or you get a better hand to fold by c-betting. So, if you are in a loose game and find yourself in MP with 88/77/xx, make it simple and just overlimp two or fold. Open-raise them OTB or CO.
