ok, i'm confused. so now mid pocket pairs are bad?

tylerK called a 3xBB raise with a mid pair, from mid position. seems reasonable. hits his set 12% of the time. the $40 he made seems like it would cover 20 of those $2 calls. so as long as the sets hold up 1/2 of the time looks ok to me.

perhaps my sarcasam detector is misaligned?

perhaps there is a much more subtle and clever analysis i'm missing?
