Hmm. I never got around to replying on your pair & two-pair category question.
It's absolutely normal for them to be "losers". It would be a really weird sign if they weren't.
A good proportion of hands finish as pairs. Remember this includes that J2o hand you junked pre-flop from the BB and a 2 turns up on the river. It includes the time you junk 72o in the SB and the board comes up AAK93.
If you take the maxim "set it or forget it" as a strategy then you'll be folding a PP 7 times and playing a set once (so major loss to the 'pair' category, profit goes in the "three of a kind" category). Of course there'll be times that your PP holds up, there'll be times your PP will set after you fold, there'll be times when the board pairs (making your loss show up in two pair).
Add to that all the times you middle/bottom pair and you begin to see why your losses ought to end up in that category.
Not sure how clear I made that. But there you go.
What would be a much more helpful tab in PT would be categories of hand at the point I folded it.
