Generally speaking, you should not play this type of hand unless you are
1) in late position, and you can assume the blinds won't 4 bet you very often
2) a skilled player that is able to navigate spots where they bluff, read the opponents hand and tendencies and are also capable of folding when they are beat
i believe neither of these two apply here
Sure the table matters what you open, but i would need a really good reason and sample not to open this hand.
Even 3322ds is UTG open with gg rake.
Postflop i think check call both streets is standard.

But gg rake, i.e. high rake esp. at micro stakes, would make you open less hands, not more hands. And while this particular hand went HU, because someone 3 bet, many pots are played 3-4 ways. Si neither your FDs nor your sets will be the nuts.

Sure, i just mean opening 3322ds at microstakes with gg rake is solver approved.
If x person can play it profitable or not is a different story.
Call flop call turn.

Thanks for your reply, this is definitely good to learn the types of marginal hands that a beginner like myself should avoid. Is this spot similar to calling a 3bet OOP with 98s for example in hold em?

Hey 😀
others have given some solver advice, which also surprises me a bit, but solver approaches do not really apply when the opponents are completely unbalanced and also when you cannot execute flop, turn and river as solver would. So my personal advice would be to not get into such spots to begin with. You can wait for better cards. Right up to PLO100, people play too many hands, do not let go of made hands, chase bad draws, so the way to win is to have dominating hands, get it in when (massively) ahead and limit your bluffs / bluff catchers to very clear and limited situations. It is a bit boring, and given the low amounts of $ and also the high rake it is quite slow and difficult to climb up stakes this way. So you should move up stakes when you feel you are ready, and not grind a bankroll at these stakes.
Comparisons to holdem are difficult, because it is not 1 - 1 mappable, but if it helps i would actually put this lower than 98s
