I played pretty safe for once today and didnt get in big pots unless I had it but this hand had me intrigued. I really thought i was ahead, but I feel like I have been making marginal calls like this since I started playing and I feel like I am usually wrong.

Merge, $0.05/$0.10 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 6 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite. View Hand #22640441

BB: $10 (100 bb)
UTG: $10 (100 bb)
MP: $11.80 (118 bb)
CO: $12.48 (124.8 bb)
BTN: $7.42 (74.2 bb)
Hero (SB): $11.83 (118.3 bb)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 2

3 folds, BTN raises to $0.28, Hero calls $0.23, BB folds

Flop: ($0.66) 5

(2 players)
Hero bets $0.44, BTN raises to $7.14 and is all-in, Hero folds

No need to get in this spot with a crap hand, when we can wait a hand and have position.

I think you can call pre.... but leading flop is weak and its DEFINITELY A FOLD OTF, shouldn't even need to think about it... everything he has has us crushed

Definitely not folding pre vs. anyone. Fish play passively postflop, so there's times where we actually can get to showdown OOP here (not to mention when we hit our set we get paid off if he hits any piece). And against regs, I like to call pre and c/r on good bluffing boards.

I hate leading the flop though.

You should be 3betting or folding small pps here pre.

They simply play horribly vs a wide range.

Villain is a fish, we'd just be bloating the pot OOP with a hand that plays bad in 3bet pots.

You should only be calling with 22 out the SB if you know what your doing post flop, I don't know in general but this hand indicates differently.
Don't lead flop.
With 22 for 99% of the time if we dont hit the set we dont put another cent in the pot.

fold pre
as played fold otf

This is the easiest hand in the world - maybe check your skill-level (?) (hope that does not sound too harsh - it's only meant as a good advice)

Edit: regarding the set-mining comments before -> this is a BTN open and not UTG/MP
