I never understand why people post hands that they played perfectly.

If you think hero played this hand perfectly, please give your screenname because I want to play against you.

Anyone else think the PF raise sucks?

I think the preflop raise sucks. 22 plays terribly in a multiway pot (unless you hit trips) and as these are new posters, there's no indication that they will fold to the preflop raise. So you can't be raising for value and you also can't be raising with any hope of good fold equity. When they don't fold, you have no idea who's willing to call down with 3rd pair.

Yes, the pre flop raise sucks. This is the clearest limp imaginable.

I knew there would be contention about this, which is half the reason I posted it. I raised partly because I thought it would be funny if all the posters folded, and partly because I thought it was about 99% likely that 22 was the best hand. What about making the pot larger to tie players on with bottom pair and worse hands when you hit a set? Raising here is not my standard play, but I really don't think that this is the "clearest limp imaginable." Thoughts?

99% likely that 22 was the best hand? Are you serious? You need to look at some hot/cold simulations.
