    Ew this is a gross spot. I'd probably fold and start pushing any two if it gets folded to me.

    equity (%) win (%) tie (%)
    Hand 1: 40.2726 % 32.35% 07.92% { As2s }
    Hand 2: 59.7274 % 51.81% 07.92% { 22+, A2s+, KTs+, A2o+, KJo+ }

    I'd be worried about the limper too. Alligator probably has something to raise him with, and if he calls too it's even worse.

    equity (%) win (%) tie (%)
    Hand 1: 23.1150 % 19.02% 04.10% { As2s }
    Hand 2: 38.4512 % 35.34% 03.11% { 22+, A2s+, KTs+, A2o+, KJo+ }
    Hand 3: 38.4337 % 35.32% 03.11% { 22+, A2s+, KTs+, A2o+, KJo+ }

    I'd rather push the next time I get to open a pot.

    I'd fold too. Chances are you are dominated, plus you still have someone left to act if you push. Getting AI with A2 against one person is bad enough; with 2....

    As the others have mentioned, I then start pushing with just about any two from here.

    this is not a good spot.
    if its folded to you while in the sb push any two, if the button limps push any two. if he raises fold unless you have a a decent hand/two live cards. look to push from the button, CO or HJ with live cards if its folded to you. push over a steal attempt from the big stack with any decent hand. suited connectors are my fav here 1 gappers/ 2 gappers.

    If you don't pick up anything nice don't be afraid to wait untill midpos or even utg. I know that goes against most advice here, with all the 'M' talk and what not. but i've come back to win with this strat before. Its about picking the right spot really. i've even let the blinds pass again on the rare occasion.
    Success is how high you bounce after hitting bottom.

    I would fold

    I rather open push with almost any 2 then call with this.

    A2 is a trouble hand because either you are way behind to Ax or pocket pair, or marginally ahead for almost any other 2 cards.

    You need to make a move soon, but you want to be the one leading the action

    Have to agree with everyone else. Fold and look for a better spot. Push when folded to you.

    Trivial fold.
