Re: Folding sets in the 22s
You're 8 to 1 to make a set on the flop. You usually want 3 or 4 callers in the pot to give you the correct implied odds.
In your case, in the BB, you don't care how many are in the pot as long as no one raises.
In this hand, with it folded to the small blind, you need to think more about heads up strategy. Against a random hand, you are a big favorite. Make him pay to see the flop.
Plus you have position the whole hand, so play aggressively.
As for your original question, I make the crying call hoping to hit the full house. He may have had it this particular time, but my experience is that it is usually bad to fold a set with cards yet to come.
