If you don't want to raise 22, then fold it pf.

Sorry if I'm being harsh here, but most of what you're saying is the opposite of smart and deceptive. Did you make this strategy yourself, or did you read it somewhere?
HOH1

That guy seems alright . . . as poker players go.

Edit: Are you seriously suggesting folding 22 preflop in a cash game just because you dont want to raise with it.

Bear in mind jiggus is currently 10NL and several FTRers have commented that it is possible to get as far as graduating 25NL (Bankroll wise) just by set hunting alone. 22 is an extremely profitable hand for me because I pay a couple BB to play it and fold it unless I hit a set. Unless someone has a higher set (very rare) or someone draws out on me afterwards (afterwhich I stop putting money in) I take down a huge pot.

I can understand folding small PP preflop in a tournament once the blinds get big because you will have run out of chips seeing flops before you actually make a hand, but with 100BB refillable stacks in a cash game there is no excuse to fold them preflop unless your opponents are either not paying them off, or are raising too much to make them profitable. At 10NL they work just fine.

As far as im concernece Jiggs, and im playing the same games as you, the best way to play these is to limp/call cheap flops and see if you can set. The only exception is on the tight table you might find yourself at once a month when you can raise from the button/CO and steal on the flop.
