Default Re: 55 UTG, FT on UB

Realistically the only thing we are worried about are over-pairs. If an opponent has one, he might as well call a taxi. However, there is a 9 in 17 chance that one player at a table has a pocket pair. I think the mathematics here are simply squaring 9/17. If this is correct roughly 28% of the time someone else will also have a pocket pair. After this I'm afraid I do not know how to complete the calculation to figure out the pot odds w/ two over cards or higher and lower pocket pairs so any suggestions would be appreciated. However if its me, I push b/c my gut tells me to and I'll take at least 3 out 4 times being in a race w/ all that dead money out there. worst comes to worse...I do have a 1 in 5 chance of hitting the set and being in real contention to win. More advice would really be appreciated though.
