WIth a hand like 56s you're going to get into trouble by playing it really early. If you play it for a raise you might be able to get more value when you flop a big hand, but I hate the fact that almost everyone is going to have position on you for the rest of the hand. I would also say it's bad because this is a hand where you will usually be playing draws anyway.

Anyone agree/disagree with this?

P.S. you probably don't need the results for this hand. If you want advice on the way you played the hand, the results don't matter anyway.

Yes I understand that in most cases it is better to fold this hand preflop. I hate raising sometimes because someone else can really repop and then I can't play at all. I understand what you are saying about raising and playing it for volume but - aside from the fact that I should not have called - isn't this a hand that I want volume with (a lot of players and chips)? So if I play is it not better not to raise in that sense. If I flop a flush draw I don't want to be heads up with it.

Don't know why I posted the results...I guess just because if anyone was curious.
