22 vs. Strange Action

[bergh]

To me it looks very much as YOU are the LAG! It is pretty safe to always assume you are behind with just pocket duces against 5 players (if you don't hit a set). Betting the flop is bad. Betting the turn is terrible and calling the river is totally awfull!

Check/fold this flop! If you expect a lot of action from an aggressive player and there are a few calling stations, it MIGHT be ok to call one if you are closing the action because of the implied odds, but you will never lose much by always check/folding these...

How come nobody mentioned the most obvious?

FOLD the hand preflop, you're in early position with a negative EV hand from that position. Sorry but you are the LAG.

Roadstar, in most loose low-limit games you can limp any pocket pair from any position.

its an easy limp, especially with a limper and a poster before and after hero.

Thank you Roadstar. I did not realize that pocket 2's from EP was -EV (although I was getting that idea from everyone's posts). I already admitted that I am a LAG in the third posting (and that's why I'm here--for help with my problem--they say the first step towards recovery is admitting you have a problem).
