YES or no

if you picked yes your right the flop was ace king 2 the turn was ace and the river was a 2! LUCKY GUY

I'd say no. if you bet 250 and he goes allin for 2.3k, give it to him, he'll only make your 250. Why damage your stack. Wait for something better and take him/her out. That sounds like a better idea to me.

I think I'd make the call.

Thats a straight fold......22 i wouldnt even think about limping in with it
Dont like it at all.

[pocketrockets26]

i problyu would have called as well

[zpeay]

well you would pretty much have to call cause from there you would be a slight favorite unless facing a high pocket pair

[HalfSwingKing]

defo fold ur hoping to dodge 6 cards not to mention a lucky flush/straight........ and as sum1 said above give him ur 250 and not 2500

[geryhun]

im usually call if my lucky factor is good

hi

I would say this is a no brainer - you dont know what a player has before the cards are turned so to say ... he has AK what would you do ? is an illogical question

obviously if you knew he had AK and this was a hypothetical statistical odds question then 22 is ahead - but by such a small margin as to be not worth considering ahead at a guess its about 52% / 48%

but in a real game where you are holding 22 and someone bets all-in ... you are 99% likely to be beaten by whatever he has - any pocket pair even 3's has you substancially behind

so IMHO calling an all-in even if its "only" 2.5k of your 12k stack is just throwing away 20% of your stack for no good reason

hope thats a help

cheers scrawnybob

ps. that doesnt mean 22 is a totally unplayable hand ... if you can see a flop for free or 1BB ... if you flop a set then maybe great but that isnt going to happen often and the rest of the time even in an unraised pot its risky ... if there is alot of value in the pot from alot of players calling and your on the button then of course you should call a 1 or 2 BB bet and see what happens - but all-in call NO DEFINATELY NOT

I think you can find a similar situation with AK winnin' the pot. The fact is that when you got pp 2's, you can be defeated by any other cards, except when you get lucky as you've been (catchin' a quad, lol).
So when you have a poker situation to tell us about, we don't need to know what happened cause it's not the important thing. What works for you once won't always work this way and you'll probably be defeated next time playing the same way.

if i knew that for sure he has 2 overs... witch u would never know, and it was to take a player out and not hurt my stack too bad id call for sure
