Default 55 early in $6

very simple question: Level 1 of $6 STT...call or fold here?

please indicate even if you think it's obvious either way and you think the same as another poster cuz me n my friend think differently and need to prove one another wrong.

BB (t1500)
UTG (t1500)

flatting for set mining to a min raise is optimal. Even if it was to 60-80 I would consider calling.

This is an easy call. Like vers said, you're just looking to hit a set here and a minraise shouldn't stop you.

Exactly what they said.

Your implied odds are giganormous here, plenty enough to justify a call to hit the set.
