    because this is a $55 i wouldnt even really consider calling this. it sucks you lost so many chips on this hand but its pretty clear at least 1 of them has a set

    I wouldn't whine if I lose to a set.... lol

    I don't play $60s, but this early I would limp preflop, particularly with 2 limpers in front. Keeps the pot smaller and easier to get away from when you get action like this.

    Yeah I limp this too.

    I would fold here, you probably ran into someone who is playing cute with AA/KK

    I think you're getting pretty good odds to call the push here (unfortunately it's early and you've gotten all your chips in there)

    I agree with what was already said - that you won't get caught up in the pot-building cascade affect if you just limped behind preflop.

    Limping TT here is weak, a bit too weak imo.

    As played, fold. Call with QQ+..

    It's very early to be raising this IMO. Only second blind level, so 5-9 min in ... no reads on the limpers and only okay position at the table. I raise this all day if it's folded to me and maybe even with one limper, but with two EP limpers, eh ...

    limp/raise too close to argue about.

    fold to the flop action.
