Playing small pairs preflop in the Cap games on Tilt Playing small pairs preflop in the Cap games on Tilt

Hello,

I have been playing the Cap games on Full Tilt and I think I have a good idea of what kind of hands to play and not to play but I have a question about pairs preflop.

The cap is 30 BBs, so you can't really play pairs for set value too much. What is the cut off for calling a raise with a small pair.

I have been folding 22-66. Does that sound reasonable?

Also, when you open raise with a pair, what are you playing against a 3-bet?
I have been tossing up to 99. Does that sound reasonable?

When I button raise and a blind 3-bets me I tend to decide what to do much more based on recent play and I understand that it is difficult to give a response for that situation.

Maybe it is difficult to say for any such situation.

Nevertheless I would like to hear thoughts on this.
