Default Dirksen vs D\'Agostino Interesting Hand

I was watching DD and JD play heads-up today on FTP when this hand came up. I wanted to know how many of you would make this call or how you might've played it differently.

I don't want to share the results just yet. JD was dealt deuces. Other relevant information: DD is very aggressive and quite good at pushing small edges. This includes very sharp reads. Look at this post for a general analysis of DD's game.

FullTiltPoker Game #304398079: Table Gardenia - $50/$100 - No Limit Hold'em - 5:27:33 ET - 2005/11/23
Seat 4: John DAgostino ($67,855.25)
Seat 6: Dustin Dirksen ($41,434.75)
Dustin Dirksen posts the small blind of $50
John DAgostino posts the big blind of $100
The button is in seat #6

John DAgostino checks
Dustin Dirksen bets $22,734.75, and is all in.


What range of hands do you put DD on? Do you call if you're JD? Or easy fold? Analysis of all streets is welcome as well.

EDIT: Nevermind. Apparently someone posted this hand on the "Who is DD?" forum along with results.

you cannot really expect a good clear analysis from anyone here because it is a lot harder to break down a single hu hand in a vaccuum.

a lot of it depends on the flow of the match, so i know i am not going to try to reason out either players logic in this hand. particularly one where the lead is changed back and forth numerous times.

but i can say that i personally (in limited viewing) have yet to see dirksen get picked off on a big river play, so even being layed 3-1 i think this is a rough spot and the decision is close.

i can say i like dags river check though. let the man bluff.
