I'd probably bet bigger on the turn and x/f the river, unless he's betting really small.
I am under the impression that it's standard to open any pocket pair from MP in 6max. Any PP.

I typically open any pp from UTG, let alone MP. The worst that happens to 22 is it gets 3bet and I fold. The best is that I get a few donk callers and then I flop a set on a dry board. Either way, I'm not folding a pocket pair as the opener.
