You know, I hear everyone here saying over and over, "You have to slow play, that's the only way to make money." But here is an arguement against slow playing. Maybe you all will change your mind

Seriously, I probably wouldn't have seen this flop except I just had a good win and I was feeling good. The suited cards made me limp in.

I don't know what they have to say
It makes no difference anyway.
Whatever it is...
I'm against it.

I think that was just an unlucky situation for him. I doubt you would have folded if he went all in on the flop! It's hard to put someone on 22.

Yes but post flop was his strongest point. He had the nuts post flop. I may not have folded, but it was so much easier to call his all in when, 1. He was talking about less money and 2. I had my full house made.

 There was nothing he could have done. Just a bad river card for the poor fellow. If I were him, I'd be pissed that you paid to play your junk hand.
