I think it is bad to call with a small pocket pair in the small blind with a raise and one caller as well, for what it is worth.

I call with both pairs and Axs when raise is from a good guy in CO, coldcaller inst good and BB isnt LAG. Odds are ok and domination is not that big problem with Ax when CO stealraises and loose player coldcalls on button.

If I had a pocketpair in SB and it was 2nd pair I would often bet out on this dry flop. What will good player do with 1 overcard, which is most likely holding? Its very hard for him to convince himself Im bluffing. And if good player raises its because he is going for a freecard, or because he is hit by pair so if he bets turn I can fold and if he doesnt I can often bet river. We will probably get a call from one of the loose players, but its normally pretty ok and if it isnt, if they are hit or got a great draw somehow, well, they would have called whatever we do on flop.
