Default Trouble with UTG raisers having small pairs

I am having trouble lately with early position raisers having small pocket pairs in Party full ring games. Either I am in Early/Middle position with AK or I smooth call with AA from late position to try to win a big pot off of KK or QQ. It is so difficult to put them on a set when the board comes with all low cards. Any thoughts on this? Should I reraise QQ+, AK if I am having a hard time getting away from this? Is this just a play that I have to pay off an unknown when they hit it? This has probably happened 3 times in the last 3 weeks against players I didn't have notes on. I am thinking that I should put in a reraise against unknown players with a high raise percentage. Thoughts?

Don't let short term results fool you. Keep playing your solid game. Players who raise low pocket pairs preflop will certainly go broke in the long run. Sometimes you can reraise with AA preflop, but frankly you're giving up too much money by not trapping them. Good post.

So in a full 10 handed game and there is a 4x raise UTG or UTG+1 you reraise everytime from the button w/ AA when it is folded around to you?

If not, it is easy for you to get away on a 7 high flop?

Do you specifically see people raising a lot with small pocket pairs in full ring games on party from UTG?
