I would call this but I don't mind folding, either. If you were the SB the fold would be super easy.

I agree. But I also really like the idea of this hand; a fold here is just a super interesting play, and usually the correct one.

At what limits though? A fold at the 11s and 22s and 33s is probably not the right play as you will see AJ and AQ and 72o as much as KK and AA or QQ.

Keep in mind that Curtains is playing in a somewhat different game than most of you are used to.

Which brings up a great point... should you play significantly differently at lower buyins?

Since what Curtains is doing on a daily basis is where some of us are willing to invest years of our life to get to, is it bad to apply his knowledge to $22s/$33s?

I can see that by playing a style that's succesful at the $215s, you may be giving up some of the chips that $22 donkeys throw around, but are you actually going to lose more SNGs for playing that way?

Play in a manner which maximizes EV. Do that, and you'll be happy.
