Party Poker 10/20 Hold'em (6 max, 6 handed)

Preflop: Hero is Button with 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
UTG calls, MP raises, CO calls, Hero ???

Interested in hearing comments about the play here. This was about my ninth hand at the table, and I've only recently begun playing 10/20 so did not have notes or good reads on any of them. Table had been passive up to this hand and had not seen much pre-flop raising.

Results on next post.

Looks like an easy call to me.

call, but it's close. post 6-max hands in the shorthanded forum

Yes, you'd have won a chunk of money if you'd called. That's entirely irrelevant to the fold/call/raise decision, however.

If you can be fairly certain that the blinds will call then you're getting odds to call preflop. I don't like 22 in a 3-way pot, though.

I agree with you on the easy fold. I just wanted to see if what type of consensus I'd get from others. I made the right decision here, because I don't get a flop (or turn like that) very often, and in a raised pot, I'm normally just donating to the eventual winner with 22.
