The fish had T4o.

I have been playing small pairs 22-55 in these games because (in general) I expect unreasonable action postflop that compensates for not getting the preflop odds to try to flop a set. I believe this game is filled with overaggression and this should make small sets profitable. When you say fold preflop, what else are you folding here? All of 22-55?

Why raise the flop? Doesn't this ensure a win of 1 more sb from the SB and 2 BB from the sb? Don't we make more leaving the button in the hand? If this should not be our objective, why is that?

Not trying to be argumentative, I really want to understand the reasoning behind your comments.

I agree that my second raise on the river was excessive.

Thanks,

Jim
