Bad Even at PP 22s?

[curtains]

btw I might fold here preflop but it definitely isn't easy or automatic. Notice that your genius opponent's will practically throw their money at you if you flop a good hand, meanwhile you are advised to fold all the time to avoid such situations!
Anyway still I admit it's close and folding is quite reasonable, I just think it's insane to call it an "obvious" fold.

Haha... I always appreciate your advice, curtains. My instincts are more in line with yours that with the more conservative players you "tangle" with sometimes on the boards. When I'm playing well, I feel like I can tell if a player is bad enough to throw his money away, and I feel incredibly weak not taking it just on the chance he hit a monster. However, I'm pretty certain that I'm not actually good enough to successfully employ this more aggressive strategy yet. But I'm working on it, and it's good to know there are successful players with more aggressive instincts than some of the common wisdom on this board would suggest is possible...
