How do you normally play when your opponent is making supicious small bets and you have a pair?

Pre - its already suspicious he hasnt shoved
OTF - maybe he doesnt have anything then
OTT - when he bets so small, I think he has absolutely nothing or a monster, but call as its so small
OTR - another small bet and I get curious and pay even though I'm sure I'm behind

For me it's always hard to say. If I see suspicious All-in deep OTF, it's usually a blef / semi-bluff. When someone bets so small I assume it's either bluff to make worse air to fold, or sth small, like a middle pair. If he shows set or better I say out to the air "gg, good luck beating any stakes with that value betting" and I move on. :P

Pre-flop is for me a push/fold spot against a 9bb stack and I would go for a fold, because he would most likely shove his weaker hands and K9 will be dominated against his raising range I think.

Cheers,
