i limp to catch a set in early position and raise in later position. if something like j-6-3 comes out, you can get a3s, a6s, a6, k6, etc to generally fold by being a bit more aggressive with your 55s. you imply you have the jack and it's actually been pretty profitable for me.
sets are tough to get paid off on though unless the opp catches something like a good 2 pair. pair of aces with K kicker will rarely call an all-in or very large bet on the river if you have position on them, in my experiences atleast. sets are a tricky hand to cash in on.
