So you want him calling with 22 or a better Ace high? There are loads of better hands that you can fold out and another positive is that you build a bigger pot against a narrower range when you do hit, ie. implied odds are greater when you bet bigger.

Oh yeah and I just noticed this was a sb limp/call as well...

It depends how badly villain sucks preflop or how much of his limping range he folds. If either of these are true I'm going to be isolating a hell of a lot. I will also iso very wide against regs that limp small PPs as I know I can make them fold a lot postflop. I'd probs limp behind here if there were two limpers but against one I think we get to see a HU pot in position with initiative here to make raising better.
