blah... I dunno. T1000 and fold to BBs shove?

[TruFloridaGator]

I would just fold, BB can easily exploit a raise & SB is getting it in too often.

[ouwep]

raise t1100 and fold if BB pushes?

Pushing is EV ~breakeven with SB calling 75% and BB calling 55+,AT+
and the EV is not changing much with other call ranges.

[vers]

raising is exploitable by the BB, you seem to be too deep to shove and your hand is very marginal. fold.

[sippin_criss]

Raising is only exploitable to a clever BB, and even a clever BB will just dump his crappy hands a lot of the time. I'd make it 1k.

[pipS]

i think fold better here

[vers]

I guess I'm giving BB too much credit. It's definitely close. Depends whose in BB I suppose.

I shove. SB doesn't want to call you with total rags, since there's a chance that BB will call and eliminate you and he will move up. It is still very likely that SB is calling IMO, but that's fine - 22 is gonna be doing just fine against his calling range, and assuming BB folds we're getting a very nice price with the dead money in there.

Why is anybody afraid of BB here? He's not calling very often, and even when he does he VERY rarely has a pair.

lol, you're dumb.

If bb calls, you're not racing, you're [censored] crushed and you're in a 20/80 situation.

I think since this is a $22 and not a $100+ (or even 60+) I make it t1000 and fold to BB push. Only good players in BB will push over this raise with 100%.

And 22 against SB calling range can't be any bigger than a 55/45 for you.
