Default Re: \"Protecting\" my hand?

[ QUOTE ]
Why don't you want to take advantage of your position with a preflop raise. It sets up a chance for a free card play on the flop or the turn, which is a big advantage with the small PP if you don't flop your set but can take another shot at it for free. It also gives you the chance to win the pot with a simple bet after a rag flop. What am I missing?

i don't think raising preflop will "get you a free card" on the flop and your pair is so low, it is next to impossible for a field this large to #1 fold to your raise #2 have the flop miss anyone.
