I don't have any experience at the 55s (other than reading hands on this forum) but I think raising the flop is ok but you have to fold with all those callers and a re-raise imo.

With no reads in a 55$, I think you have to assume he is no donk, and that makes it a really scary raise considering the cold callers. While your hand is nice, it is also very vulnerable. Good fold.

On another note, why doesn't anyone use the converter anymore, is it not working?

I would probably raise a little more on the flop to chase out the draws, but I think your fold to the re-raise is correct.

At a $55, I think this is a fold considering the cold-callers. HU, I'd almost never fold this.

fold-even if the SB doesn't have you beat its very possible that one of the limpers has a set. Additionally, you're not very far invested in the pot and if you're behind then you're crushed but if somehow you are still ahead its only by a somewhat small margin. In other words, its going to be easy to get drawn out on but hard to draw out.
