Default HUSNG--Missed small pocket pairs

How do you play missed pocket pairs in position and OOP assuming you raised preflop?

Cbet any flop? check/fold? ??

For example...did i play this okay?:

Full Tilt Poker, $5 + $0.25 NL Hold'em Sit n' Go, 15/30 Blinds, 2 Players
LegoPoker Hand History Converter

Hero (BB): 1,640
SB: 1,360

Pre-Flop: (45) 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] dealt to Hero (BB)
SB calls 15, <font color="red">Hero raises to 90</font>, SB calls 60

Flop: (180) K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 Players)
Hero checks, <font color="red">SB bets 180</font>, Hero folds

Results: 180 Pot
SB mucked and WON 180 (+90 NET)

I don't usually raise these because I think they are very hard to play because of the tendency of opponents I face to call me down lightly and I am out of position. So I usually go set farming with 22-77
Am I leaving value out there by not raising these oop after a limp?

Isn't it odd that you raise on the button, which you probably don't do often, then check? At least c-bet then go from there. If you bet 2/3 of the pot they don't need to fold too often for this to be profitable, and they will probably fold often.

That is the standard line. You would obv have to make some decisions after a call and fold to a raise.

I make it 110 pf and 130 on the flop. But that's just nitpicking the details. The main thing you need to know is that checking here is just asking to get robbed.

If you cant play them postflop OOP profitably when you miss, please dont open from the BB. Your just burning equity.

C bet is 100% standard fwiw.

There is no strict rules on how to cbet. It depends on reads/metagame and board. Against unknown on this dry board I cbet this 100% of time.
