I'm a bit confused with how to play a pocket pair of lets say 10s or less in mid stage game. Whats your objective when you get them? steal the pot, call and hope for 3 of a kind, raise and do a continuation bet if possible?
I normaly play them verry tight, in early and mid stages of the game, I will take a look at cheap flops hoping for 3 of a kind and droping the hand as soon as someone seems to have something better.

How do you play your pocket pairs?

Depends on cash or tourney, stack sizes, amount of people at the table, your position etc.
But generally for pairs that aren't the 'big pairs' flop cheap and score big is a decent strategy.

AA
I can't get anyone to play AA with me, even if i check pre and check the flop, they check behind along with the river and turn, if i make a bet somewhere in there either potsized or the min, they alwyas fold

Ok Mj well, I was asking for the average situation, its sure that I will play more agressive with bigger stack or in good position, but if you want a more precise description of what gets me confused I will give you one particular situation.
In a 10$ buy-in 6 players sit and go with 5 players left, your in a early/mid position, next to the big blind, 5-6th stage of blinds so something like 60/120, you get pocket nines. Your a bit over average money with like 2500 chips (1500 at the beginning), you have the second bigger stack at that time and your feel there is a 40 to 50% chance there will be a raise preflop with two guys low in chips there is good chances for all-in pushes. How will you play this hand?

I find small pocket pairs easiest to play in cash games. Raise it up preflop as standard, call any reraise with the implied odds, CBet a dry flop. Simple.
