Having a bit of trouble figuring out the best way to play mid and low pocket pairs in situations such as this one. The player who raised was fairly loose (PFR of 21) and attempted blind steals frequently.
Do you think I should have:
a) folded pre-flop
b) limped for set value
c) pushed for a resteal
