I would fold here. He has a big range of hands, but you still don't want to be calling with just deuces. I fold and look for a better spot.

this is the only 22 thread that i will ever answer and it is only because i like you clayton.......this is the easiest fold in the world. you are risking over half of your stack on a hand that stands to be a coinlip AT BEST. Check out pokerstove, and see how 22, and 33 rank against such hands as 88, Q9, A7, etc. you will be quite surprised.

22 is a helluva lot better than Q9o, though a helluva lot worse than 88, and worse than A7o.

You'd be be better off folding here and pushing any two next hand than calling.

Whats wrong with a coinflip getting 3 to 5 odds. I call here.

You're only a coinflip if you ignore pocket pairs...

wrong answer


22 vs q9o = 51.1/48.9
22 v q9s = 48.1/51.9
22 vs random hand = 50.3%
q9o vs random hand = 55.4%
q9s vs random hand =55.4%

[lastchance]

What kind of hand ranges are you using?

I mean, ok, Q9o isn't a helluva lot better, but it's pretty signifigant. 22 is a top 20-25% hand, and Q9 is a 35% hand, unless I'm completely wrong.
