[Buccaneer]

Here is what I keep running into and can not seem to find a way to properly deal with it.
Sitting in BB with a low pocket pair. I stay in to see the flop if it is free or maybe one raise. The flop is a medium pair and a card higher than your pair. Should my cards go in the muck immediatly or should I wait for the ass whipping to come, when no one shows agression and I am unable to release the hand. Of course someone catches a higher pair and then milks me for another bet or worse the board pairs a gain and I am beat on the board with a sissy kicker.
I sure could use some advice on how to play this.
