How to play middle pair???

[XChin]

I'm conservative with middle pair. If everyone checks on the flop and the turn is a card lower than ur middle pair I will usually bet that. If there's a consistent bet to the river your middle pair will be beat so for me its about positioning and how much bets are out on the table.

Middle pairs can be very dificult for game. If some player raise preflop 3bet or allin l fold. If l em underthegan l always raise with this hand . When flop comes and if all or two cards are bigger than my pair l check, if some raise fold. If i hit set l going to the end. If all or two cards are less than my pair a raise or 3bet. Like all hands in poker depends in wich position you are and how much chips you have. I push all in if l one of the smallest stack.
