You really only have two to a flush. Your pair of 2s aren't worth much unless you improve to trips or FH. I would maybe limp in with this hand and see if I catch a heart or an Ace, but if other hands around you improve and yours does not, I'd let it go.

It would of course be better in hi/lo.

Playing stud I never complete the bring in even if I have pocket aces.Why let players know you are holding strong pokets. You have to remember the bring in is a bet so why push players out even before the betting begins.

I understand your thinking Rig, got to say what you say is not wrong, but I dont agree, in high stakes I personaly dont want many calling stations in the pot, Table image plays a part as well, from what I have seen on the net players call you down with any rubbish, beliving that 2 pairs is going to win, so % calling is going to be a profitable stratagy WRONG U % calling stations, Studs a game of Maths and Skill.
