Re: 22 defence

I'd rather have something like 67s (not that I'd want that either) or another hand where I can fold if I don't hit.

The thing about 22 is that it has already hit even before the flop. Most suited connector hands get most of their value when they hit a pair, rather then their straight/flush potential since it is heads up. That is why 22 is decent to play preflop. As long as the flop isn't horrendous, you can continue with it. As for this flop, it is really tricky, because we have a pair, and a flush draw. About 35% of the time he has our flush dominated, but that means we win about 22% of the time from the flush (35% of the time the flush comes * 65% of the time he doesn't have us dominated), not to mention all the times he is bluffing with his non pair.
Again, I think it is close.
