I understand that the level of agression is a factor in playing small pairs - passive is fine but you prefer a little action for when you flop your set as others are a bit tied to the pot with likely weaker prospects.

Excuse me if this is a stupid question but I'm a learning player (not much above a fish) and the end of this paragraph seems to contradict one of the points I've had drilled into me: Money in the pot is no longer mine and each play should be evaluated based solely on what's happening now rather than how much money I put in the pot.

Is that correct or have I misunderstood? Or did I misunderstand you?
