Default How do you play pocket pairs?

I play pocket pairs a couple of different ways, I was wondering what you all thought is the best way to play them and in what situation?

AA isn't 22... I bet you're talking about low pocket pairs?

Never openlimping any pair first in. Might limp along with 2-3 limpers in front for set value

I agree I have been limping more with pocket 2s through 9s, and only raising no more than 3 times big blind with 10s through AA and having a good deal of luck. I do run into the occasion where it is necesarry to through them away post flop. I think sometimes to much emphasis can be put on pocket pairs and it can get you into big trouble.
