Re: Fold the set???
This is an interesting hand. One the one hand, you only have one card working for your draw, which is a bad thing. On the good side, since you have two 5's, that makes it less likely someone else has one, so if the straight comes, it will probably be good. It's not likely someone has a 57 or a 25. Since you have 8 outs you got about a 1 in 6 chance of hitting your straight, and you should make 24 if you get it, so you have odds to call. So calling is better than folding.
How about raising? If this were heads up, I would definately raise. With 3 opponents I think I'd lean towards calling, depending on their ability. The better they were, the more likely I'd be to raise.
On the turn you could call the $4 bet if you were pretty sure it wouldn't get raised behind you. You definately shouldn't raise. There's too great a chance you'll be re-raised.
