55 and heavy preflop action

Is it considered too weak-tight to just fold this pre-flop after your initial call is raised and re-raised?

Yes it would be a mistake, too much action preflop and you're getting 1-5 (assuming MP calls). All that preflop action means you likely get paid off big when you hit your set.

i dont see this happening all that much in 5/10. is getting in 1 bb (2sb) on the flop then calling down 2 bb more really worth it when he has a pocket pair so much more often than AK when he raises?

I would check/call one bet on the flop then lead most turns. I think betting out on this flop is igniting a powder keg that you don't want to ignite.

in one orbit i had seen most preflop activity consist of 2-3 limps and a complete, followed by a check (with me folding of course) so basically what i am saying is, the PF limp is by no means standard but i expexted to see the flop for one bet with a few others and get paid off nice if i hit. of course, because i limped, these guys took thier [censored] pills and started a war.

I feel your pain [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]. There are plenty of 5/10 tables where you can get away with limping UTG with small pockets . . . but I need more than one orbit to identify them with enough certainty that I'm comfortable doing it! You don't know whether a table is reaally loose and reallly passive after just one orbit. I'd have folded pf.
