Good discussion about 22 vs. 87s. I'll add this problem. It's somewhat similar to 3-42 for those of you following along at home.

blinds 300/600
UTG (t3000)
UTG+1 (t3900)
Button (t4000)
Hero (t6100)
BB (t3000)

Hero posts SB of t300
BB posts t600

Which hand do you feel the best about pushing?
a) QJs
b) 22
c) A4o

A4o is clearly the weakest because it is dominated by a better Ace- exactly the type of hand that will call you.

Very little to choose between QJs and 22 (Eastbay 43.2%/41.4% vs. 42.9%/40.5% against typical calling hands.

Fold equity is of course king if your remaining opponents are tight, but if they really open up their calling ranges then I suppose it gets nearer to pushing against a randomn hand. Then QJs is best at 60.2%, followed by A4o at 56.7% and then 22 at 50.3%. So as always, it depends on their calling ranges. But how the heck do you estimate these in an ever changing situation, Slim?

But to answer your question, I think I feel most comfortable pushing with QJs, but I suppose I should go and check this on SnG Wizard!
