Default Re: Playing small pocket pairs from BB in unraised pot

I'd like to know what people are raising out of the BB with if you're not going to do it with PPs because I'm raising them nearly 100% of the time. Limping is stunningly weak.

If you limp and don't hit a set you're going to give up. If you hit a set, good luck trying to get money in, because it isn't going to happen. I don't want to win tiny 10-15 bb pots when I hit sets, I want to hit the felt ASAP. How are you going to get money in with a 6 bb pot on the flop? What's your plan when you hit a set in a limped pot OOP? Are you hoping someone will hit 2 pair? I'd really like to know what types of lines people are looking to take when they hit a set after limping.

If you raise PF you can win the pot PF. Miss your set? Why not cbet? You can rep AA/KK/QQ/AK/AQ. This will win lots of pots on the flop. If you're opponents like calling cbets, that's even better! When you hit a set the pot is going to be decently sized on the flop. With a 15+bb pot you'll be able to commit opponents on the flop.
