Still, you have to go to group 7 before you get the small pairs that Miller recommends and would appear to be unrecommended hands according to Sklansky for he never mentions them --be the game totally passive or even slightly agressive.

The same is true of small pairs such as:

They can be played from an early position providing that you are sure that you will get a multiway pot. However, they can stand a little more action than the suited connectors. But if many pots are going to three bets or more, they are probably never worth playing, even if you can usually anticipate several opponents.
