I get in this situation a lot, would love some advice.
What would you do in this situation:
Short handed table, you are small blind, and dealt 33. Person in first position raises, folds to you. You and the big blind call. Flop comes:
7h 2d Qc all of different suits.
You check, big blind checks, the raiser bets. You limp big blind folds.
Turn comes
9h
You check, raiser bets. You fold.
Is there anything wrong with that play?

Whole hand is played Poorly.
Pre-flop, you're OOP, and you need at least 8-1 to seek your set, Sure you're getting 3.5-1 right now, but being oop, you can't guarantee you'll get to 8-1. If there was another caller in the mix, Just one more caller in there, and it's worth taking a look.
Pre is not terrible or a major leak, but it is worth a consideration. If the Villain was extremely tight, it's a loser, if villain is relatively lose, and prone to calling down to river it's BE, if Villain will mix it up with you, then it's a winner.
The flop is atrocious. you need to be getting 23-1 in order to justify that call. May as well be burning money.

Completing pre ain't bad, since you do have a third player in the hand. But easy flop fold. Several reasons:
1. Even if you're ahead now, you probably won't be by showdown without improving.
2. Bad odds on the 2-outter.
3. Dry dry board. Villain is likely to have nothing or near-nothing with which to pay you off.
So yeah low pps tend to be a big leak for lhe players. So tempting to play, but so easy to take too far.

Wait wait, I missed that it was raised pre. Definite fold preflop.
