      When I have 3 pairs early, should I break one pair or keep them all 3? How do I decide?

          Early on, I usually break one pair. Keeping three pairs often slows your hand down unless one of them has clear value or fits a plan. I look for the weakest pair first — usually an unvalued honor or an isolated 1 or 9 — and let that go to build better shape and keep the hand moving. Hope this helps.
