No. Your hand is as good as 22 there if you saw his cards. You call because of the pot odds and implied odds of hitting your set and fold the flop UI.

Okay, firstly, thanks for saying to just call!

(Now if you'll excuse me, I'm about to be a nit.)

Secondly, though, I think you can peel one off on the flop in this pot. PF it'll be 19 sb in the pot. If you check the flop, he bets, and it's one back to you, the pot's going to be big enough to chase the turn, depending on the board, of course (i.e. QJT this is a fold, because your K gives him the straight, or if there's already an ace on the flop, don't chase.

And it's better than 22, because 22 loses when something like 77 hits a set. This is a rare occurance HU, but in a MW pot, it's possible that there's more than one pair out there.

There's other reasons that KK is better than 22, other than the set over set thing. In this hand, I flopped a four-flush. 22 wouldn't have been nearly as strong as KK in that hand. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
