Default Moving In With Deuces

Complete this sentence. With a one dollar ante and a five and ten dollar blind in a ten handed game, you should move in $90 with deuces in the small blind if you are first in (and the big blind has you covered) unless.....

Yeah, I can't think of an unless. Maybe like "unless it's a satellite with one elimination to go and the big blind will be forced all-in the next hand".
I think an "unless" is dependent on knowing your opponent's hole cards. Even if he only calls with overpairs, that means you pick up the pot about 95% of the time, so moving in HAS to be profitable. You would have to know he has an overpair and he's calling for moving in to be a bad play here.

Rarest of exceptions would be a Villain who will call with any two in a BvB.

Effectively a HU question.

You're on the bubble of a satellite and will survive without doubling up

It's a sat that pays nine places, and you're not shorty.

I'm pretty sure it would still be profitable... because of hands we dominate like 23, etc.
