I know it has been discussed before but I am curious to hear some info on the ways you would play small PP's in a cash game Vs. a tourney or SnG (single or MTT). For what I am asking about I am refering to small PP being 2-2 thru 6-6. Maybe I am wrong but I look at 7-7 thru 9-9 or 10-10 as middle PP. If I am wrong in my thinking feel free to correct me.

I have been struggling with these small pocket pairs lately. It seems that in tourney/SnG play a raise of 3-4x BB does not run off enough people and I end up with flops that are all over cards or worse. Rarely do I hit a 3rd card to make a set. I end up making a C-bet or folding to a bet depending on position. If I am in the BB and it checking is an option & I do I almost always end up not hitting anything on the flop. I know poistion will make a difference in how to play them too. I feel like if I play them better pre-flop I can do better overall.

So how do you play them

Cash game position:
early
middle
late

MTT SnG/Tourney position:
early
middle
late

Single table SnG position:
early
middle
late


Also - I am not sure if this makes a huge difference but I tend to play in the $6+$.50 SnG's 9 & 18 person games and the $.05/$.10 or $.10/$.25 cash games. For MTT SnG's I play in some of the $3 + $.45 45 person ones too
