I'm not from Australia but worldwide the trend is that governments are shutting poker down instead of creating new markets. Regardless of the upcoming bill I am sure there will be plenty opportunities to ban online poker or they will just raise taxes to make it practically impossible to provide the service without extremely high rake.
What I was mainly pointing at is that selective memory is a huge thing and if you apply that line of thinking in decisions your own progress suffers. There are plenty of other good reasons to quit playing on PS, no need to resort to unbalanced deal.
I think you explained the hand yourself but I'll point out where you didn't follow up.

That's not really a way to assign a range. This means you 100% exclude him having AQ or AK? Almost every player will play AK before they play 22. In any case, against a strong range you are behind, just fold.

Setmining in position
can sometimes be sort of ok but not great. You need to play the hand as a bluff as well to actually profit because else you forfeit too many pots. In this case, you're not even close to deep enough. With your stack you're looking to shove or fold and 33 is not good enough.
Now everything that happens after the flop is pretty much irrelevant because the situation should never happen again. Anyways

How can you put him on a pair that could be 55/77 but is definitely not a set? So 66 is impossible here? Where did the other pairs go like 22-33 and QQ+? Would he magically check those?
