This is incorrect. With multiple callers, 22 loses a huge amount of value, no matter what they are holding.
I disagree. If all 10 people went allin preflop, you might be right. However, in a more realistic situation, if 2 people went allin preflop and neither of them had a pair, it would be more reasonable to assume two high aces, e.g. AKo and AJs (very loose call by short stack). In this situation, your 22 is a big favorite relative to AKo, winning 41.1% whereas AKo only wins 33.2% and AJs wins 25.7% of the time.
However, given there are 3 or 4 people allin, your odds of facing an overpair are very high, probably around 80-90% (out of my ass, here). Therefore, calling allin with 2s is not good in a heads up or multiway pot unless for some reason you were certain there weren't overpairs. Also, if there are 9 hands that are unpaired all going in on a suicide pact, this discussion is completely academic, because it almost never happens.
