Re: How is my line with this set?

Maybe I'm missing something. Hero is first to act with 55, facing a 5xbb raise, correct? There aren't enough people in the pot to pay him off when he does make a set (Granted, he got action this time). What happens when the flop comes with 3 overs and 2 face cards? Lead and fold to a raise? Chip spewing.

Easy call PF. Check/fold when you don't hit a set, that's easy enough. There are easily enough people n the pot to pay him off here, because you only need one.

I'm surprised by this response. Maybe there's a leak in my game. I always fold mid-low pocket pairs from EP when I'm facing a decent raise unless there are at least 3 other people coming into the pot with me. It doesn't seem like a call could be profitable. 7 out of 8 times you lose $4.50. The one time you do make your set there's a good chance you won't get paid off if villain has missed overs. And even if he hits, it's not guaranteed he's going to put his whole stack in with only 1 pair.
