Re: 22 defence
It is close, but since you're only getting 4:3 preflop and 4.5:2.5 postflop, I think you need to be winning more often than that. I may be calling this guy more of a maniac than he is, of course, in which case you may be able to fold a nonheart, but that means you shouldn't continue in the first place.
I think it is close and might help slow this guy down against you a bit, but this isn't a hand I like to play. The reason I said I'd rather have 76s here is because at least I can get away from a no pair/no draw hand, and if I do hit, it's one card that likely didn't hit him (rather than every card that comes being an overcard and a possible pair for him).
Given the stats, I'd like to be raising the turn rather than calling down, but since he'd only fold hands you beat and probably not any low hearts, correctly (since you'd fold to a river bet in this case), that's also more of an image play.
