There is no lesson here. Even if he raises to 60-100, there is a good chance that some of the limpers call and you call. I know I like to flop sets early when blinds are low. Cards happen.

I agree with this. You SHOULD have raised but I think the pocket twos still call and you still go broke.

I am not sure you should go broke in a limped 6-way pot with that flop. In a raised pot, you go broke. In a limped pot, you should be able to get away from it.

If he made 80 to go you wouldn't call? I always do with a small pair early as the implied odds are huge.
