Was there any way out?

I usually do not call a raise with a Pair of dueces, but I felt lucky.

Did I play it right, or should I have folded earlier

Feeling lucky isn't a good enough reason to call a raise.

Fold preflop. AFter that, no there is no way out. You have a full house.

I agree, on the river the villian is much more likely to be betting with a rivered nut flush than he is a higher full house.

I disagree. Calling is fine here b/c another guy cold called the raise first, and the stacks are deep enough to justify trying to hit the set.

I agree with Myst. You *SHOULD* be happier to call the raise since it has already been cold-called. You want you opponents to be excited about their hands, so when you hit your set you can stack them. It just sucks when someone else hits an overset. /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

I don't like huge raises, but a bunch of callers of 2-3BB is perfect. Besides your odd are about 8-1 and if you get 3 caller besides yourself you're halfway there.
