Don't do this though or you'll very likely get flamed here
You know, I really do not care. I may even raise here. I am not a professional poker player, but I have been playing a long time. I play the way I want to. It may not be correct in the eyes of the "poker world", but I do not care. Flame on!!:icon_pira

Never fold on the BB if all you have to do is check.
Ignore those idiots who told you you should be folding cos they clearly have no clue how to play poker.
Makes a personal note to never visit 2+2.
So glad I found CC first or I would be playing worse than I started instead of improving my game right here
CC is clearly the best forum on the internet by miles

It wasn't meant as a personal attack on you. I only mentioned flaming as a joke because it is what the OP is all about. In fact most of us here don't really go in for flaming, we would rather give advice.
My advice, (which was aimed at the OP), is that it is -EV to defend the BB against a raise and then play the rest of the hand OOP with 92s.
I turned the observation into a joke.
You are completely free to play the hand any way you want, I'm not going to be doing any flaming.

Check or fold
Guess whoever told you that is the one that tried to steal it. Dont ever fold when you can check in cuz things like that happen all the time. Ever think to yourself I should play this then fold and bammmmm there it is and you would have one. Sounds to me like a sore loser told you the right thing to do is fold. LMFAO

No wrong move is possible here what so ever.
Obviously you would just check your big blind,hell alot of seasoned pros might even call an opened pot to protect there blinds and see a flop,or even open the unopened pot when checked around to them.
Because you stacked players out of there lack of respect for an unopened big blind then that to me is strickly on them.
You could have had any two cards and they should all seen this and be aware.
Congrats on the quads.

fold the big blind in an unraised pot?

everybody knows its standard to fold the BB without looking at your cards. OP is clearly a luckbox that should have folded pre

So was she banned for calling a raise from out of position with 92o? Or because she admitted doing so to us?
"note to the whiners"
Either way, in poker good ones raise most of the time, great ones raise when they know where they are on a poker table and pro's raise every flippin chance that they smell profit! Why? Because we want bigger winners than we do losers! We know we are going to lose are fair share of hands even when calling, raising and jamming are correct. So make the most of a starting hand and brush your shoulders off before the flop hits!!!
When their crafty moves go bad, they blame the players with the nutz.......

LMAO at the comments. Of course you were correct playing the pot because like Forrest Gump says "...Ya never know what your gonna git." Did you notice anyone else folding their BBs? Probably not, I will play 100% of the time I am in the BB and can get a free look, no question, and anyone who suggests otherwise, please sit them on my left.

Even the poker room software warns you when trying to fold the BB in an unraised pot with a message like 'Are you crazy ?? We gonna see the flop for FREE here, You seriously gonna give your money to a bunch of lily livered limpers ???'

I honestly don't see anything wrong either. The other player had more of a reason to fold pre with 85. He should've at least raised to try and steal. I do see a lot players in the micros open limp from SB and betting aggressively (overbetting, shoving and check raising) on the flop. They let you see the flop for free and risk so much on the flop to win so little. I just find it weird but then again these players are usually the ones with very high VPIP.
