5-5 on the button

What would you do if you had 5-5 onth button with two limpers and two blinds to act. Allof them mediocre players. I don't like a call and a raise risks more money than I care to give up. I would like to have some imput on this

What's wrong with calling?

If the limpers are aggressive (not the case)or calling stations, call. If the first limper likely has AA or KK, call.


If the blinds frequently raise, fold. If the SB frequently folds, probably fold unless the conditions in the first sentence are met.


If everyone witrh cards is very weak tight after the flop, and the blinds are very tight, I would raise. I would be shocked if this was the case.

Yeah, what's wrong with calling?


55 is an easy drawing hand to play. Either you flop a set and play it fast or you don't flop a set and fold (unless the flop is 3,4,6).


If you can't call a hand like 55 on the button, then you're going to be folding far too many hands in late position.


Are you considering raising? I wouldn't. You're entering the pot as a dog to the other two limpers so play it cheaply.
