Should I have thrown away this hand and move on and if played how could I have done it a bit better?

iPoker - $0.50+$0.10|<> NL - Holdem - 7 players

Hero (UTG): 2,750.00
UTG+1: 3,890.00
MP: 3,110.00
CO: 1,340.00
BTN: 1,500.00
SB: 1,370.00
BB: 1,040.00

SB posts SB 50.00, BB posts BB 100.00

Pre Flop: (pot: 150.00) Hero has 5♣ 5♠

Hero raises to 250.00, UTG+1 calls 250.00, fold, fold, fold, fold, fold

it's 7 handed and you are UTG . it's a fold for me and move on.

as played i would bet bigger on flop cause of flush draw and fold to a 3bet.

UTG open for 7handed is 88+(maybe 77+) AQ+ for me.

Sorry for spamming Hand eval forums. i just write my line and then check if coach agrees or not.

This sounds perfect but I would have AJ in my range too.
