Strange bottom set hand

[stickdude]

Ok, so I flop bottom set here... if anyone makes a pot-sized bet anywhere along the line, I'm obviously outta there. But I wasn't quite sure what to make of those little $1 bets, or the fact that they were called by almost everyone...

Does anyone find a fold anywhere there? Or perhaps a raise?

i know when saying this that people are gonna think its too tight but i fold preflop. low sets in what will likely be a multiway pot only lead to trouble.

However, once i see the flop and its checked to me, i pot it. if i'm raised, i fold. if i'm called, its read and board dependent after that, but you can never be too confident with your hand which is why playing low pairs like this just leads to trouble.

That HH hurts my head. Looks like you played it OK though, I can't see any point to fold; you might have raised the flop 1/2 pot or so and fold to a re-raise as an alternative. Folding preflop would be OK too if you're not too confident playing low sets OOP.
