Small pocket pairs can be tricky. Sometimes you hit a set and win a big pot, but many times you miss the flop and have to fold.

Do you like playing hands like 22–66, or do you usually avoid them?

I like them... within reason. It's obvious that small pairs can be dangerous in deeper stacks when you could get into massive trouble (hitting a set or not!), but when shorter stacked, it's typically easier to mix them into your all-in range and be happy if everyone folds. Within reason of course; don't go all-in every time you get ducks (22), but it's definitely easier to play smaller pairs when there's less chips in play. When deeper stacked, you may end up folding these preflop in many situations.
