Re: can you call this?

Here is the problem with this analysis as well as some of the others - you're not putting yourself into HIS shoes (ie CO-1).

That’s actually an excellent point.
If I’m CO-1, and I see an early limper, then a flop of 22K, then he raises into a field of 4, then what could hero have? If he had a 2x or KK he’d slowplay. AK would raise preflop. Middle pair like 99 might do it, but that’s a bit risky out of position into a big field. I’d put him solidly on KQ-K7s or so, with outside chance at AA or JJ-66 or so.
And with that holding, there is no way he should be able to call a large raise. So putting lots of pressure on should get a fold. This makes me want to find my balls and call even more.
You know, the most interesting thing of all about this post is that my initial reaction was ‘clear fold’, and now after thinking this thru, I’ve moved to ‘fairly clear call, barring a tricky player’ with the logic I see on this.
