Re: Small pair problems
Also look at stack sizes. You're 7.5:1 to flop a set or better when you have a pocket pair. If someone raises and everyone folds to you, don't call if the raiser's stack is small. You want his stack (and your stack) to be big enough to pay you off better than 7.5:1 on your preflop call if you hit the flop. Oh, and you also have to feel confident that he will give you action if you hit.
If you don't hit your set, you should fold to heavy betting until you're skilled enough to play some post-flop poker.
