Well, I didn't get many responses.

I was really curious what people would think MP might have cause I was actually MP. I wanted to see how people would interpret my line to see how affective it might be.

The flop is so dry without an Ace how does hero call without a pair bigger than a 6 unless he's planning a bluff? The call on the river is so likely by pocket pairs that you (MP) could be value betting maybe JJ.

I don't see a bluff working often at all. If he was very very loose-passive and you have 22 he might have some foldable hands that beat you.

I think to put him off 88+ you have to bet turn, but it's not like that's a good idea since he's very likely to play slow with an Ace after you raise. You'd have to be very sure he doesn't lead with an Ace on the flop I think, but that's not that uncommon. Lots of people ALWAYS slowplay if they hit hard. Still, that one needs a read.
