Topic: Low pocket pairs - what to do? Forum: Card Chat

Actually, if youre head to head, raise. Folding any pair whatsoever in head to head is a bad move. A pair of 2's holds about a 49 percent chance to win in head to head. Even a pair of modest 8's holds about a 69 percent chance to win the pot,a steady favorite. Pocket pairs are a force with only you and someone else in the pot.

Things change considerably with more people, although it would still be a mistake to fold if noone has raised.
