You need to decide as a player what you are willing to risk. Make up your own chart:
22-66 ... need 18 to 1 minimum
77-99 ... need 15 to 1 minimum
TT-JJ ... need 12 to 1 min and also play as value hands from time to time
AA-QQ ... need 8 to 1 min and play as value hands 'most' of the time
Once you have this type of chart established in your head, then you consider 2 things:
1) Are the chips out there to cover my requirements
2) Are these players going to pay off those chips if I hit
I tend to agree that in live 1/2 poker that 22-66 can be over-played a lot since your ability to win at showdown is unlikely without a set. GL
