Re: Small PP?

Everyone says fold....which may be right. Maybe you have the best hand. I'd say against more than one opponent, and they bet, and I had no other information, then I would fold. I play every pair I'm dealt and don't follow the ABC approach of no set no bet. I only play small pairs because I figure I can get away if I'm beat and normally figure out when I'm ahead. Most flops miss most hands, but an easy way to look at it is that people play hands with tens in them and hands that make straight draws with tens and jacks. You're a dog to a lot of hands here but I wouldn't dump it so quickly. Try playing them to see how things work out...
You know what, there's no easy answer to this question. I thought about erasing the above part but I'm not going to because there is more than one way to win at poker. Get as much information from the books you can, read and post hands on this site, ask questions, follow your instinct, get a lot of time at the tables and figure how you play best. It takes gridin' to be a king, and it takes a lot of time being a donkey before you can win. The game has to come from within you because you're the one making the decisions.

Yeah, I agree it's tough to generalize poker, but in this case as the hand is described anything but a fold is a bad play. Not an enormous bad play by any means, but bad nonetheless. With a single bet and no callers you might be ahead or maybe you could raise and then make a play at a scare card, etc., but against a bet and 3 callers you are not winning this hand without hitting a 3. The odds simply aren't there to draw to a 2-outer so you must fold.
