it's happened to me, but then again I've also won with them.  I guess just play and hope for the best. I know some people like them, feel like they are the underdog and deserve to win for that.  Figure maybe people play 22 more than say 33 or 44, so you see them more...

If there are a lot of limpers in front and you're pretty sure you won't get raised pre-flop, then it's a good idea to limp and set mine. In early position though, just toss em.

you should hit your set about once out of every 8 times you play them, so if you think your going to get more than 8x what your putting in the pot to play them then your going to be money ahead in the long run.

There's little reason to play 2s unless you have the opportunity to play for set value, which usually means getting into a multi-way pot cheaply, or perhaps in a heads-up situation.  While they're a slightly better starting hand than any non-pair holding, they are only slightly favored against a single opponent and a dog against more than one.

I like to see a cheap flop with em' just because if you do hit thenpeople are generally betting at you. good way to get a nice pot... if you hit with them of course!
