He's taking the piss. Never fold there. And raise more on the flop.

Never ever fold. His push could easily be a flush draw, another set, or an overpair potentially. Against unknowns online I never make big laydowns. Ya, sometimes they get lucky but most of the time you'll be happy/shocked at what they have.

Yeah, he's going to have the nuts a lot here considering he got a free look in the BB. However, the key here is that if you're ahead of a set, two pair or an overpair he's almost dead but if you're behind you have plenty of outs.

Most obvious fold ever. What were you thinking?

Come on guys, here is somebody who took a bad beat and asks himself what most of us asked themselfes several times as well - did I have a chance to avoid this? Please just stop kidding at him - experts / good players shouldn´t be in need of teasing newbies ...

Open-raising preflop is of course okay (that's pretty much never a horrible play), but is it really preferable to limping here? With 22-88 early in a donkament, I like to keep the pot small preflop and to keep hands like 97o in the pot, so I can stack them when I hit a set.

Too bad the OP got cold-decked, but I think he played it fine.
