...Is this a push hand?

I think it's pretty marginal. I would fold this.

No it is not. I feel I am now qualified to anser this. I have played 60 $20 games on Party Poker this week and I have won money.

Are others pushing right now? Is anybody calling them? I probably push it in and close my eyes, unless I think there's a good chance of being called.

i dont play $22s, but i'd fold this. only way i push is if im sure i won't be called.

I only make this push if table has been pretty tight. They need to be folding some better aces and low PP here, and at the 22's I see you often getting called by any ace, or any pair.

I agree. The 3 kicker is still a bit low at this point, and this position. Couple spots later, or bigger blinds, then its more likely a push, but at this point I would probably fold it.

Yes, although only marginally so. Assuming a .5 .3 .2 payout your equity is about 13.8% and by pushing you could raise it to just a little over 14%, depending on how tight the callers are (you do a little better if they're very tight).
