Playing Pocket 4s

In general, you want to be fairly cautious with small pairs. In the early stages of a tournament it's relatively easy - hit a set and get paid, otherwise fold. However, a common mistakes made by novice players is overvaluing small pairs when they are shortstacked. As a quick example, if you have between 10-15 BBs and face an opening raise holding ducks or sailboats, you usually want to fold.
