Enormous pot - but should it have been enormous-er?

[Michael Davis]

Six,

In the little time I have in these games, I thought 22 was playable UTG at least 50% of the time. After one limper, there's no way I would fold it, as we are definitely on our way to starting a limpfest.

I don't see how you could fold this hand after two limpers with other players still to act behind you.

Consider the postflop play of your opponents (particularly the one who claimed to have 77) in this hand. I'm looking for any excuse, within reason, to make it to the bigger bet rounds against these guys.

UTG 22 is never playable in this game, that I can see. After one limper prob not either unless its been read as a near constant limpfest of 4+ players to each flop.

That 8/16 game is a high variance game, one way to keep your variance in check is to follow the basic principle of playing big cards with position. Most of the time, and I have to thank Andy Fox for this, if I look at the first card and it's 6 or lower, I don't even bother to look at the second card, I just muck.

Michael,

I meant that I would fold it if I was 4th to act and there was one limper and two folds ahead of me. UTG+1 after an UTG limp, for example, I might limp or fold depending on the game and how likely I think it is that a raise is coming to my left (limp more often than fold, probably).
