Default very standard spot in 60 dollar 45 man i want to settle once and for a

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1413822


i consider myself a reg at these 60 dollar 45 men and i think i play good for the most part but here is a situation i am very very interested in...i have a very short stack in pretty early position and utg player miniraises and i have 22.....conventional wisdom proly says push i have a pair and a horribly low m..but i keep finding myself dominated all the time either by raiser or a player left to act....
can i possibly fold here and push with a trace of fold equity in the coming hands


thanks alot i would really love to know the optimal play with no reads on raiser (meaning he proly hadnt been a huge donk)

if you think he sucks/that minraise means a worse hand than usual, it's a decent spot for a stop and go

This is a situation where you hate to push because you have no fold equity, you know he's calling and your in a race at best. However these are the hands that I say you have no control, you have to allow your M to make the decision for you and that being said it's an insta shove "all in." You hate doing it, but you know it's the right move and you just have to let M make the decision for you LOL!!

I'm not sure I understand the PF action. Are you closing the action? If not, it is shove or fold.
