Here is how I play it, which is not necessarily the best or even a correct way to play it at the 22's:

Limp preflop. Bet ~200 on the flop. Check the turn. Call that river.

What makes you and lastchance think that this was a 22?
It was a 33. Not that there is all that much difference.

Suerte,
Jonathan

Just a guess. Meh, t800 chips. Player posting... Meh, $22's seemed like a good guess, and adanthar just copied what I said I suppose.

I like adanthar's line a bit. Given your read, I call the river too.

So the way you would play it, by limping, I would end up
having to make the same decision for all my chips on the
river, but with one crucial difference- I let the small blind
and big blind in the hand to possibly out flop me. Wouldn't
it be better to play AJo against one opponent rather than 3?

Perhaps I should have called the river bet. Knowing this players
tendencies, I later regretted my fold. But if I am planning
on calling the river for all my chips, then wouldn't it be
better to go all-in myslef on the turn?

Suerte,
Jonathan

Because getting called and missing sucks. Because SB and BB are paying you off if you flop 2 pair or better. Because you've only got t800 behind, and raising to t120 is 1/8th of your stack.

I can see an argument for not raising but I can't see one for not playing at all.
