I honestly look for any reason to fold 22-44 and if I can get a free look at a flop, then I usually take it. Although slightly positive, they're just not big winners in my database so if I do play them, it's usually in a limped pot or purely for set value vs Tighty McReg who doesn't mind going all-in when I play my set face up. As for the hand, it's a tough one. Calling seems good, but when villain XC, XC, donks river we can't feel great about our hand anymore. He could have back-doored a flush, caught his kicker with K4, or feels good about his Kx enough to bet. I think this could go either way honestly and I wouldn't really feel bad about either decision.

How many players have folded before it reaches the SB is irrelevant for our preflop decision here. What matters is that it is folded to the SB who completes. If there were 13 folds before it got to him it'd still be an open.

I agree totally my main point is I'm betting any pair when I'm playing hu or 3way amirite?
