22 is a dog against random hands 3-5 way, then it picks up value. 10-way it's better than average. Although Q7 is ranked 131 out of 169 10-way, so is this average thing only for heads-up?

If we're talking heads-up value then you wouldn't play JTs, because it's a dog to Q7o heads-up? 98s?

I guess what I'm getting at is the sillyness of this. There is no linear ranking of starting hold'em hands. Different starting hands play well in different situations. You need to look at the value of hands in 3 (maybe more?) dimensions, not just 1.
