I play $5-$10 - limit
As a general rule I fold em early because I don't want to call a raise, I may call late, if no raises and no real loose players in the blinds.
If i don't hit trips, and lots of over cards on the flop -- I fold to any bet
What I don't like is if you have 66 -- flop comes 7 4 2 rainbow. Obviously no raises pre flop or I would have been gone. Now what -- bet or raise and hope for no overcards?
thoughts?

If it's possible, I like to check-raise and then lead out on a safe turn card. Tell them that you had a low pair that hit its set. That's probably the wrong way to play it but someone will straighten me out.

I like the c/r in EP...will scare some people off the pot with overs. Then you MUST follow-up on the turn.

Hands like that are what seperates the great players from the pretty good ones. It's totally about the size of the field and what you expect the other players to do.
