imo its +ev to play any pkt pair in any pos even for a raise of 5-7BB if you both have 100BBs or more. ...But this is why we need poker tracker, so we can see the outcomes of every time we play 22-77 in EP etc.

In one of my books i think its bob ciaffone recommends only playing 22-77 in LP with pos on the raiser but this is something I will look into when at higher stakes.. currently Im sure ive made lotsa $$ playing 22-77 in EP at microstakes.

Also dont get mad about not flopping a set for so long, sometimes you get a mad run and flop a fair few in a few hours...it all averages out. I think its 8-1 chance to flop set or better, maybe 8.5-1
