I play my small pairs from anywhere for one bet as along as I have a limper in front of me and I make a decent profit on them.

If you truly dump them unless you hit a set then you need to review the hands you hit. Start with the ones you lost. Was there something you could have done to win the hand? Then look at the winners. Did you manage to extract max value? Post them here for some feedback.

Also something to look at is are you weak-tight? If so your opponents may not be paying you off like they could be if you were doing an appropriate amount of semi-bluffing and semi-bluff raising.

when you said "Seriously, depends how you play them, don't you think?". every hands ev depends on how you play it. that's as obvious as anything gets. it would be outlandish for anyone to assume someone thinks otherwise. which lead me to believe you were joking, or this was your way of saying my question was worded in a stupid way.
