I think I had watched too much Poker on ESPN. The play payed off, but was it a bit too risky? I was really hoping for a fold preflop. Is this just a bad habit to get into long term?

| You got a sucker on the hook this time but this is generally a losing play. No reason to flirt with danger like this in a low stakes cash game. Better pocket pairs - probably all of them, 88+ - will call you here in a $25 6 max game. The best you can hope for is that he is calling with overcards and misses. You have to remember that these games are filled with a lot of loose calling station types, and a lot of LAggs; any plays that rely on fold equity to be profitable are probably not profitable at this level. |

| agree with the above. No need to play like this, just call wait for set value and bam unstack him. Too many opps at 25nl think unmade premiums/good unmade hands are the nuts and are prepared to call anything with them. Wiat until you have monsters before doing this, most often they still call. |

Definitly agreed. It was a little less then 50-50 if he had overcards. If I had a full stack, I definitly would have just folded.
It paid off but knew it was too risky. I am comfortable with that; Definitly won't get happy with hands like these in the future.
