Default Should we go in with a pair of 2's?

So I just got a double two in my hand, but the question is, should we call it?

Only if you think that you have no other choice. It is very risky. Any other pair will beat it. It makes sense only when you are bluffing, or you have so few chips you are worried about getting anything before the next blind forces you all in anyway.
It also depends upon how many people are in the hand.

The following table shows the probability that before the flop another player has a larger pocket pair when there are one to nine other players in the hand
Probability of facing a
larger pair when holding:

Allin with little pocket pair, is in the best of case a coin flip, against two over card, against a better pocket it is a 80/20.
So allin with 22 is not really a good thing

For me it all depends on position and blind levels. If the blinds are low I would call it. If I'm small blind, or big blind with someone raising before it gets to me, then I would just think about if it is worth paying whatever it is to call to see the flop.

it is a risky bet but if u do there is a small chance u could hit trips or if the bet is large enough all will fold and u pick up the blinds

Rule of thumb; fold.

However, if calling doesn't cost you much in comparison with your stack, it might be worth seeing the flop to see if you hit 3 of a kind.
If not, I'd probably call it quits there unless you can check through to the river.

I win as often with 2s preflop than As. Probably because I play tighter after the flop with 2s

best advice fold.

2nd best advice .. limp in if you get a set make a killing if you don't fold any bet.

low pairs are dangerous ground.

Cheers

Mac
