So, the question, restated for those who are less good at abstraction, is

Imagine you're playing an aggressive opponent who raises 100% preflop and bets every street postflop when checked to.

If we showed 22 down every time we get it by just checking and calling, would we show a profit?

Now, of course we can change the expectation of the hand by playing it differently depending on the board and our opponents tendencies, but that's not what's being asked.


The answer to the question is YES. 22 has just over 50% equity against a random hand averaged over all different 5 card boards, so you have an expectation of just higher than the blind money on average if you take this rope a dope strategy 100% of the time.

Best,
