Re: Playing for Set Value

1) Is it a leak to limp with small pockets in an unraised pot early in an SNG?

No, it's not a leak. One concern is that if you know there are multiple aggressive players left to act behind you. If this is the case, you should be hesitant to limp small pairs up front. If it's a fairly passive table, I'm limping any pocket pair at will.

2) Do you think that limping with small pocket pairs is positive, negative or neutral EV?

Positive EV for sure, if you play well post flop. And by playing well I mean you don't get cute when you miss your set.
Worrying about set over set in your typical short stacked sng is ridiculous. If you flop a set, prepare to put your entire stack in play.
