Defending with small pairs

Party Poker 3/6 Hold'em (6 max, 5 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 4/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 4/images/graemlins/heart.gif.
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Hero calls.

Same applies for most small pairs

Opponent is like 30/15, stealing maybe 30% of his hands?

Suppose opponent is more like 30/20, stealing like 37% of his hands?

I don't think this defense is very questionable, but what's the plan? Cr a ragged flop, call down absent an A or 2 broadway cards?

I realize this play can be situational but there has to be a default line that is profitable with a pocket pair here.



Bonus: I found this in the archives and think its pretty interesting.

I like 3 bettting small pairs pf to a steal raise for the following reasons

1) I'm most likely ahead pf
2) Its very tough to play these post flop if I don't 3 bet b/c the board will most likely have overs to my hand
3) By 3 betting pf and betting the flop, I can make my opponent fold his 6 outter incorrectly

Interesting idea, I'll have to think about it.
