Raising pre-flop with pocket pairs

[AncientPC]

I push all in with any pocket pairs down to 44 like the pros on TV.

Ghazban,i see your point but i really dont think alot of players pay attention to what size our raises are.I think alot of the players are not even paying attention.I look for the ones that are on the ball and stay out of there way unless ive got a srtong hand.Any one else think most players are like this?

Even if you're at a table with 8 fish and one smart player, that one guy will never lose money to you and will often stack off through you (or, if you always fold to any strength from him, he will steal the pot every time you're in a hand). If you spend the rest of your poker life playing monkeys on Party $25, I guess you might win money long term this way but, if you ever want to take your game to the next level, its a habit that absolutely must go.
