I was reading a good article yesterday that focused on small pairs in early position. Some of you might have seen this article elsewhere on the net. It was talking about what they called the 25 and 5 rule. It also was just focusing on small pairs in early position. It basically was saying that if your stack size is 25 times the BB or larger that you should limp with a small pair and get away if it gets raised. If your stack size is 5 or less BB then you should push with a small pair, and if your stack size is in between 25 and 5 BB then you should fold.
I didn't totally agree with everything that the article mentioned but the thinking is good with it. The part that I didn't really agree with is the fact that you should pushing with them if your stack is 5BB or less. Hopefully you are already pushing (picking spots in LP preferably) before your stack gets this low. Also the limp in EP is something I wouldn't necessarily do. I understand their thinking that people will take the limp as a monster hand, But I would just rather throw a standard raise out there so I can represent the flop with a c-bet (depending on it's texture), even if I don't hit.
I agree that in cash games playing these hands is all about the implied odds and playing them for set alue.
