Default Best way to play low pockets

Recently I was at a table, where the majority of the time when I was on the button or in late position, I was getting low pockets such as 55, 77, 22, 44...and just limped in, and in every case I lost. So what is the best way to attack with low pockets, or is it better just to pretend you dont have them and fold all together?

Huh? Just because you didn't win with them in one session you want to just fold them?

Limp for a bet, or cold call if there are 2 cold callers and loose blinds, play for set value.

If it is folded to you, then blind steal.

I usually limp in with low pockets and hope for a set, but if you were in late position you probably want to consider raising in oder to steal the blinds.

NP. Not quite archived yet. But anyway Im doing a project of building another bankroll from scratch on POkerstars (I withdrew my 15/30 BR and had .95 cents in my account there) anyway overtime Ive worked it to 445 so far, currently at the .50/1.00 limit.

Blah blah blah...anyway stumbled across it while posting a few hands to help the micro guys out. I was pleasantly surprised on how good the post was.
