Re: how wrong am i here?
To be honest, I really don't mind it, which is weird. A cold-call is pretty bad, as you aren't going to like many flops without a 7. If Button is as passive postflop as he is preflop, he will be calling down any pair, and you will have no idea if he is doing that or just hoping to hit some obscure draw. Your position is pretty bad in terms of being able to manipulate the betting to your liking.
A raise is pretty bad too. You would be bloating the pot, give UTG the opportunity to cap, and Button certainly isn't going anywhere. I tend to give a decent amount of respect to an unknown UTG raise, so I would say two overs at best, or you are completely crushed.
Unless you hit your set, or the board comes AK9 or something, you are going to be in a tough position postflop. You could end up paying a lot of bets with a second best hand (or third best). I would fold 55 here no question, and thinking about it in this light, probably 66 and 77 as well.
