i don't see a problem with the way you played it. Another option would be to smooth call the flop and raise a non [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] turn.

I raised to get my odds to flop the set.... you need 5 in the hand or you have to raise.... if not then you have to fold...at least that's my understanding of the play with small pp...... would u just fold the 66 in a low limit game like this??

Why the pre-flop raise?

I don't like the preflop raise. After 1 limper, I would just limp. If it was folded to me, I may raise or fold depending on the table conditions.

I also may consider just calling the flop and raising a non-spade turn card. However, SB might check AK or JJ/TT on the turn so I wouldn't be able to raise. So, I'm fine with raising the flop. It's also unlikely the SB will slow down with AA/KK on the flop, especially if he has a spade, but will be more likely to slow down to a turn raise.
