Message: [QUOTE="zachvac, post: 624522, member: 26306"] problem is, lots of those slight edges fold to you while the higher pockets mostly call you all the way. So depending on your stack, pushing heads up with 22 isn't a great move. And to the math, using pokerstove, 22 vs. another non-pocket pair is 52.3% vs. 47.7%. Against a pair, it's 81% vs. 19%. But because of how much more you get the first scenario, you are ahead 50.3% vs. 49.7% according to pokerstove against a random hand. So if you could be guaranteed any hand would call you just go all-in there, you have a slight edge. But almost every hand that has you beat (and if they have you beat they have you dominated) calls here and lots of hands you have beat fold here. Some good thoughts though, very informative overall, just don't agree with your analysis of playing 22 heads up. [/QUOTE]
