Except that every now and then you're going to flop an under-set if you raise with the small pairs. That's going to cost you and I think makes raising with them wrong.

That's probably approximately negated by the straights you'll make with them or the times they'll win when you flop a straight draw and win the pot uncontested [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] or vs unimproved overcards.

All of this makes the proposition of raising w/ the small pairs iffy at best. Not the worst and not the best, just so-so. I figure I'd rather not bother. I'm talking the tiny pairs here but since it's close overall I'd not argue it much.
