Easy fold. Why exactly do you want to call for a coin flip here? He's probably not pushing with 72o.

I'd fold that in a heart beat. With 22 you're a coin flip or a big dog to any hand (such as a pocket pair) that he would raise with. Plus you are not even closed to short stacked so you don't need to make a move quick.

You have 3:2 pot odds to go all-in, I dont think villain has a higher pocket pair more than 30% of the time.(20*30 + 50*70 =4100/100=41)

How do you figure he's not short stacked? 6x BB is pretty short. I push, for what its worth, in this spot; but I could be wrong.

it doesn't really matter you can wait it out and find a better spot or call.

Re: First hand ITM holding deuces in the BB...
You're going to get your chips all-in here, but I think it's a big mistake to do anything but a stop-and-go. This is the perfect opportunity. You would like the button to fold preflop, but you have zero folding equity. You are the first to act on the flop. You have 620 chips to push on the flop, which can definitely induce a fold (especially on the lower buy-ins).

Do you think you will get a chance to turn down 55/45 edges? Pushing is +EV and you are playing for first, not second. That being said, I like the idea of a stop-and-go here, because you have zero folding equity preflop (yes I'm echoing a previous poster, I know, sue me). |
