10NL: small pocket pairs preflop after a raise/reraise

[Noobler]

Just moved up to .05/.10 and have only played around 1k hands.
Seems like I have been getting into a lot of situations with little pocket pairs, and just wanted some feedback on how some of you play them preflop and post flop.

I usually always open raise PP except sometimes with the real low ones utg or in mp(22-55), which I sometimes limp. If someone minraises I will always call, but when they raise a standard amount, I don't know if I should be calling or folding. If you call what is your plan post flop?

Two scenarios:

1) Don't have hand history for this one
I have 80BB, villain has me covered
I had 66 and open raised from mp to .40 (my standard open), villain 3bets to $1.40, everyone else has folded so it will be heads up after the flop.

Is it standard to call this and then fold if I don't hit my set? Or do I fold? What about if 3bet was closer to $2? I am out of position and I feel like I am almost throwing $1 away by calling the raise and then have to c/f flop.

Do I call and just hope to flop a set or just let it go preflop?

I find I want to call with all my pocket pairs hoping to flop a set and stack villain, but so much of the time I end up throwing them away after villain bets flop that it is starting to feel -ev.
