Calling min-raises with low pocket pairs preflop?
In the early rounds when the blinds are low, is it advisable to call min-raises with low pocket pairs in hopes of hitting a set? In the early rounds of the low buyins especially, a lot of people tend to min-raise just about anything. So if I'm in late position with a small pocket pair and there's been a min-raise before it gets to me, how many callers would I typically need to make this call EV+? Also, should I be more willing to call with a higher pocket pair (say, 10s or jacks)? I'm not sure if it would make much of a difference for me because if I don't hit a set, I'm check/folding the flop nearly every time.
