I know other people who play pocket pairs like you, but I don't want to get into a childish name calling so I won't say what I think of them. Playing pocket pairs like that is not smart and will lose you a lot of chips fast unless you get lucky and draw a set. Read my post before that had the pot odds with them.

"Say you're raised about 4 times the BB with your 3-3, and you only have about 10 times the BB, calling would be 40% of your chip stack, yet a lot of players will call ormove all-in. If you are against 2 overs you are only about a 55-45 favorite and if you're unfortunate enough to be up against a higher pocket pair, you are a 20-80 underdog, which is terrible position."
