SB in hand is a serial limper and loose-passive spewer postflop. Everybody else at the table is TAG and we've all been taking his money. How often are you calling preflop in these spots with 77 and lower?

I calling this every time PF and crossing my fingers for a set. If I don't flop a set or something exotic like a OESD I'm done with the hand. You're losing a crap ton of set equity by folding here.

you're deep-stacked against a spewer, I'd never fold a pocket pair in this situation.

Even down to 22?

[JustARogue]

Yes. If you flop a set and get it all-in and lose to an over set, oh well. That situation comes so infrequently that its not worth thinking about.
