How low of a PP do you do this with, if at all?

[jaxUp]

against tight blinds this can be done with any pp.

a bit much.. 66 is fine. 44/55 is a stretch.

Yeah. Don't interpret these posts as advocating gonzo aggression. You pretty much want ideal conditions if you're going to move into small pair territory. A lot of the UI strength of these hands is their ability to flop at worst 1 overcard.

i think this is a good move with mid pairs..heads up your in a good position vs all but higher pair...since most people raise jacks and higher and oftern tens..only 77,88, or maybe 99 are trouble.
If high cards flop (esp Ace)be careful of course..so many anyacers out there.

I haven't added that to my game yet. I still limp TT and down. Do you fold to any overcard that hits?

You can easily raise TT anywhere although I only do it from MP. Raise 99 in LP with 1 limper and see how you get on.

Raise any PP 1st in from the button or CO.

The flop becomes more tricky with lower pocket pairs so you want 1-2 opponents to try and semi bluff the pot. Many will think you have a much better hand than you do although you will still normally have the best hand

Oops I meant 99 and down. I do raise TT from any position. I'm also learning that it's good to raise if I'm first in with a PP. (tried a few times depending on the table)

Why LP? I always thought those med-high pairs (77-TT) were best for raising UTG through MP to push players out of the hand.

hmm..ok this is what i'd do not that I can justify it.
if PF raise leaves me heads up.. if mid face cards hit..eg QT4..then im looking to fold if bet into..people rarely bluff into Q high flop..esp to lead into a raiser..remember your raise looks like high cards to your opponent. But..sometimes esp if ace falls and bets into me..i'll re-raise him..
if he bets out on turn..run away.
if he checks..bet into him AGAIN
if he calls you're prob dead..check behind on river.
hows that for aggressive play...
