Call or fold with 22 in CO?
Poker Room 1/2
I'm in CO with 22 UTG Raise UTG1 folds UTG2 calls MP1 calls MP2 re-raise Mp3 folds Hero ??? I figured that even if I did hit my set, some of the other players probably held pocket pairs, hence risking running into a higher set, so I folded. Was that correct?

Because it happens so rarely? So my fold was incorrect? [/ QUOTE ] Yes because it happens so rarely. When I saw that it was 3-bets to you with 22, I first thought immediately fold because you may not make the implied odds post-flop. However when I saw that it was possibly 5 to the flop, I re-thought that given that there will be enough betting post-flop to make up for it. I'm torn...

You want to get in as cheap as possible with 22. Easy fold.

By calling 3 bets PF, you cut your implied odds based on future bets by a factor of 3 compared to limping.

There are times when cold-calling is correct and calling just one-bet is not correct.
