$22: This Is A Leak. Tell Me What I Should Have Done

[FakeKramer]

I play weak-ass pots like this all the time, and when its over, I'm always sitting at my cpu, shaking my head saying, "I suck". What would you guys have done here? I'm about 90% sure this was NOT the best play to make:

And I'm about 90% sure that you should play it this way every single time.

I think the other 10% of you just may be right.

[john smith]

I usually fold preflop, is this bad?

[pergesu]

I might, and you're only getting 3-1, which isn't enough really. But I think you can take SNIPS's stack nearly every time you flop a set, so the reward potential is really high.

[1C5]

I may fold also but with a few callers, I will also call for 55.

I don't think it's a leak. I play this hand exactly the same way.

[curtains]

I fold preflop (although I don't think it's a big deal). Postflop you played fine IMO.

[SlackerMcFly]

No problems here, you played it right.

What would you do if the 6 were a 7 instead?
