agreed, this is a pretty easy call preflop.

i think original poster would come out better in the end by folding to this pre flop raise...of course this depends on a few factors that neither your nor I know.

i don't think it's a "100% you got the odds man" call as it may seem to some.

b/c his hand is pretty transparent with the limp-call?
b/c 22 gets set over setted more often then others?

I would raise the flop to $300 and then shove the turn.

to me, yes; to villian, i'm not sure...if he can win pots without flopping sets vs the villian then obviously this is a call...but if that's the case he doesn't really need a hand anyways, right?

Yeah...if he puts villian on a pocket pair with his preflop raise then that's definitely a factor to consider...also how far will villian go with a pair after the flop if he too doesn't flop a set. All points that need to be considered

It really comes down to what is hero going to do the 7/8 times he doesn't flop a set? If he's playing the "no set no bet" type of poker then he is better off just folding in my opinion with 22...

He's got to get a ton of action when does flop a set and his set has to be good...i think hero overestimated how much he may get when he flops a set...i think a lot of people do that with hands like 22, 33, and 44

Anyways just my thoughts...could be wrong.

P.S.

I call here 100% of the time. I'm not on the set over set bandwagon so PF is standard.

My default line is to raise the flop. 1)It's draw heavy 2)AA and AK are good possibilities 3)Nobody ever folds and you have a good hand, build the pot.

Pot it on the turn.

I'll venture a guess and say that most of the above is incorrect. Everyone check their PT stats for set over set for pairs < 5 5 and also what your EV is for 44-22. I doubt it's -EV.
