Re: i never do this
I don't know what you want us to say here. I don't see anything wrong with this necessarily. You called preflop to try and hit a set against 2 random hands. You missed, and got out of the way.
EDIT - are you talking about the SB betting 30 on the turn?

Re: i never do this

I would raise preflop to about t80, you probably have the best hand and you don't want to be against multiple opponents post flop. And if you hit a set your hand is disguised and you've built a pot. [/ QUOTE ] this would be my standard (except to t90, ho hum). lately i've become much more (much too?) concerned with keeping a good steal image for later, especially with the guys just to my left. if i fold to a resteal, or fold when my cbet gets c/r'ed, that sucks a lot, and it's only 45 chips out there. at 25/50 i auto-raise.

You probably have the best hand and you have position. This is an easy raise if you play well post flop.

Re: i never do this
I think you played it right. There are many ways to play small pocket pairs in position. Durron's is a popular method. I prefer the good old limp/check/fold here. If you raise and don't flop your set,and you won't most times,you end up bleeding chips you will need later.
Open raising here (not to beat a dead horse) will allow you to take down a t45 pot this is not enough for me because I am also putting myself in a positin where I might have to put more chips in the pot with a hand I really dont' like. So I've exposed myself and my risk return is too small straight flushes, SAM
