just see a flop, you are 7 to 1 to hit a set, so 7 out of every flop you will win, just make it add up, lol, some say to see a flop no matter what, but i would say to leave yourself an escape route, much like AK, sure big cards but if you miss, you must be able to get away and still play, so for me i try to keep it at 1 7th of my stack or there abouts to play any PP 8 and below, again most say 10 and below but i dont mind 9's, i am a full rank amature though, so dont quote me in your book, lol

Depends alot apon position, any reads and if I am playing MTT or Money tables.
Say the wonderful Button or even CO and everyone folded to me. Time to raise it here around 3xBB especially if I know the button loves any ace X and king X. The blinds of course need a hand to fight with while acting 1st so the majority of the time they either fold or re-raise. Faced with any re-raise I will then have to think about it.
Other then that it is normally a limp in and hope to hit a set against a board that isn't to dangerous.

really depends on the table, the players and your style of play, some scenarios:
1. Out of position and if there are any raises: fold
2. A few limps: limp in
3. On the button or in late position and everyone else folded and you are willing to gamble: 2.5-3x raise of the bb to take the blinds and if you get callers a continuation bet, maybe half or 3/4 of the pot post flop to try to take the pot down (this is only if you are comfortable as this is definitely a higher risk play here)
I do #3 from time to time in the right position to vary my play and if you hit the set, you have a big pot on your hands otherwise I try to take it at the flop and if it doesn't work, I move on and check or fold the turn/river.

in tournys i fold them from early position only from late if i can see a flop for the price of a BB or 2xBB then i do sometimes depending on my table (loose, tight etc) if i don't flop my set i check fold, not worth getting into a conflict with 22 because you will probably lose

Post a specific example or two, no matter what anyone has said in here it's impossible to briefly answer such a general question as 'how do you play pocket 2s?'
You're better off finding a hand or two where you feel you misplayed 22, or failing that just inventing a specific example.

I agree with most of you depends on the site,table etc. I like to see the flop with any pair, the lower the cost the better with small pockets.

Funny I just went into a tourney at bet holdem and very first Hand i get was 2 red 2's lmao. I just made the last post and went to play. 10/20 blinds, it was raised to 60 chips I called, because remember I said I like to see the flop. It came
so i checked he bet 100 chips I folded: final result was he went all in. had 10 J. Thats just another example
