Hero?

What play do you make? This feels like an obviouse steal to me, but I dont really like pushing 10 BB's here.

Fold. If you don't feel like it's your spot, it probably isn't.

Well I feel like my hand is a favorite againt his raising range, but I dont know if the 450 chips I get will make up for the times he actually has a hand. What would it take for you to defend here? Would you defend if the BB was to 200?

You are a big dog against many, if not the majority, of the hands in his range. You are a slight favorite against the rest.

I will leave it to you to draw the correct conclusion.

This is the easy fold. Well done on folding. This is how I play and it is g00t. In the $20 game A2 is very weak.

I realize this, but I also see this default raise into the BB in attempt to steal the pot. Donks do this all the time because they know you probibly dont have a hand, but are to scared to risk their whole stack on it.

How high would the blinds have to be for you to make this play?

If the blinds were higher, Villain would be pot-committed, so it wouldn't be a re-steal.

At the 22s, I'd have to be down around 5xBB to go to war with this hand.
