The reasoning behind all those lines of play is that pocket pairs are the easiest hands to play, by far. If you flop a set you know your good. If over comes, especially within the range of your opponent, its an easy fold.
Yea what John said. In general i want to see a flop with a small-mid pocket pair. I’ll open in any position with a small-mid pocket pair, hoping to see the flop heads up and c betting with added range advantage. i’ll call an open preflop bet with a small-mid pocket pair. I rarely 3 bet a S-M pocket pair unless i think i can get a heads up coin flip with the preflop raiser (this is more tourney specific scenario and way more likely line of play if i have them well covered). And i’ll call a 3 bet with the intention of a) set mining, or b) out playing my opponent(s) post flop flop IF i have position.
Be willing to open with pocket pairs, but focus on pot control beyond that. That means do not 3-4 bet (because you cant stand Reraise shove and you’re likely behind if you get flat called)
