    How do u think i played this? Good play or bad?

    Honestly, I think it was a bad call. You have a push and a call from the short stack before you, you have a good sized stack, and you're most likely flipping or dominated against one or both of the two. 22 is one of the worst hands to call an AI with, as 33+ is killing you and 34+ are a coin flip against you.

    I agree with zachaser, I'd fold here - but it's closer than you think because 22 is flipping against most hands and only dominated by a few. We close the action here and are getting 2.1 to 1 on the call (we can win 1800 chips and have to call 850). Therefore, ignoring the ICM effect we need to be 32% to win to make this a good call.

    Assuming that CO is shoving 50% of hands and SB calls with 22+, A2+, K7+, Q9+ and JT then we're about 29% to win:

    Code:
    	equity 	win 	tie 	      
    Hand 0: 	29.118%  	28.88% 	00.43%  { 22 }
    Hand 1: 	37.281%  	36.34% 	01.19%  { 22+, A2s+, K7s+, Q9s+, JTs, A2o+, K7o+, Q9o+, JTo }
    Hand 2: 	33.601%  	32.63% 	01.19%  { 22+, A2s+, K2s+, Q2s+, J4s+, T6s+, 96s+, 86s+, 76s, 65s, A2o+, K5o+, Q7o+, J7o+, T8o+, 98o }

    Thanks, i probably shouldnt have called that. My stack was in an akward position right then about 10bb and i thought that even if i dropped down to 6bb, i could come back without much problem and if i won i would have a large stack on the bubble and have an excellent chance of winning it. Should have folded tho, and probably would have in a normal 20$ sng, but looked like an interesting decision worth sharing. thanks again

    sorry dude. nothing tough about this hand. insta-fold.
    consider at best you're flipping vs 1 opponent. but you don't have 1, you got 2!

    I agreed, until I went back and saw the stack sizes.

    I would think CO is shoving way more than 50% and SB is calling with ATC. This is really close.
