Calling raises early on with PP to hit sets?

Something to think about: if we are not calling with low pairs then shouldn't we also fold pairs as big as 9,9, since, just like lower pairs, we can't play them after the flop unless we hit a set?

No.

Think about why.

Then think harder.

this early..not a big raise..yea call and fold to a reraise.
your trying to hit a set and double up or better..you have to pay a little...just be VERY careful esp if tables reraising a lot..you are making a small investmetn for a big reuturn..not trying to put your tourny on the line.

Can we agree that small pocket pairs in level 1 are potentially more profitable at Pokerstars, where the starting stack sizes are much bigger? (1,500 chips)

This one is real close. We need some more expert opinions. No hearsay.
