There is so much to that: Position, chip stack, tourney/table type, etc... For ME, in a tourney and on the short stack, I shove all in and dare someone to double me up. You're about 50/50 there.
In a cash game I will usually just call if I can see the flop cheaply, and then unload it if I didn't significantly improve.
But, I routinely folded pocket 5's and less preflop. This may be considered incorrect to some.

Best played from late position when you can limp in. Then, in the words of TJ Cloutier, "... no set, no bet." You'll hit a set about 1/8 times. When you do hit, try not to let them see you drool in anticipation of feeding time.
