that would be a retarded line for any hand that beats you. it looks possible that he could have limped AK...

i'd probably call here...

Call. Hands that beat you are AA, QQ, and x2. With a raise in there, and from what you are holding, almost no chance of QQ or AA. On flop I would worry about 22 calling here, but turn rules that out. Do you call a raise with A2? I don't think so. Plus this is the worst line ever for a made full house. Check turn, wait for bet, then raise. No reason to play it this way.

CALL CALL CALL

If this is my favorite fishy game, Villian holds AK here 75% of the time.

Limp preflop (or)

Raise more preflop: 4xBB+1BB at a minimum. That would be $4. Because my holding is only good and not great, I would add a smidge to that and make it $5 to go.

As played, I am calling this but expecting to lose half the time; making it +EV, but nothing great.

His raise was 6xBB (BB is $.5). Call and lose to a 2 once in a while.

There's a reason you use the 4xBB+1bb per limper in these situations. You want to give the first caller less than 2:1 pot odds to call you, 2nd caller less than 3:1 etc.

As played, first caller calls $2.50 into a $5.75 pot, giving him better than 2:1 to call. If you use the guide here, first caller would be calling $3.50 into a $6.75 pot, worse than 2:1 odds.
