Full ring, I raise UTG+1 to 20 cents with 55 (is this a leak?)
6 people call

flop is 569 rainbow
I bet, next guy raises, next guy goes all in for 5, next guy calls, back to me??

I think regular raises in EP with baby pairs is a leak at full ring, particularly if the guys behind you are either very good or very bad. The good ones will float your cb's and hammer you on the turn and river with position on you. The bad ones will call any amount of bluffing and cb's so if you don't flop a set, you'll end up in a pretty big pot showing down a pair of 5s to passive pete's pair of tens on a K8229 board.

As played, villains could have a straight, 2-pair, higher set, or overpair. You can probably fold since you can't even be sure a paired board will help you, since a 2-pair hand might fill up higher than you.
