pocket pairs strategy
i regularly call smaller pocket pairs from any position if im confident i won't have to call another raise. i do this knowing that generally i will take all someones chips if i hit my set. is this to loose though, do i have to match it up with pot odds?

Google set mining.
/thread.
I hope so!
But you didnt really ask a question. So there isnt much to talk about, aside from obvious rhetorical questions.
Should an average player setmine?
Is setmining profitable?
Should I be appliying odds to setmine?
damn with that attitude i might not catch up.....my question comes from reading in one book that, knowing how much implied odds there are, it doesn't really matter whats in the pot preflop, and in another i read you want to have like 6 other bets in for every one of yours kinda thing....whats your take on that?
In some circumstances I might flat 77 when I shouldn't...lmao
I've read it three times actually.
naw if she really read it she woulda posted some advice.
you want some advice dude, play better poker, and stop asking noobular questions.

ill repeat if this is your attitude, i will bury you. if the black belts can't learn from the underbelts...who do they learn from?
I'm sure you didn't mean to imply that I'd lie, and I'll thank you in advance for your gracious apology.

i couldn't be further and still in the country i think
If you're calling a raise that is that is bigger than your stack divided by 20 for set mining purposes, just fold it. Realistically you flop a set 1 in 9 times, but the times you don't get paid off (ie raiser has broadway hands and doesn't have a premium to pay you off) will make you have to increase your implied odds to make it worth it.
BeL0WaB0Ve follows a limping rule. Don't open limp a pair unless you're 50 BB deep.
^^ this.
It's situation-dependent (position is key; other players' pre- and post-flop play is equally key; stack sizes are crucial), but I find set-mining is most profitable when I'm at least 200xBB deep and at least a few of my opponents are (a) also deep and (b) can't get away from TPTK and top two-pair type hands. Of course, when you're 200xBB deep, set-over-set smarts a bit... but c'est la poker.
If you're set-mining in tournaments when you have (or everyone else at your table has) M < 30, you have a leak in your game.
In the first paragraph, I was talking about cash games. Outside of home games, I don't play many tourneys. That's why I mentioned tourneys in a separate paragraph. Your OP wasn't specific.
it was VERY specific....are you new
