of course it's correct to have 22 vs overcards because you have 5% EV, but you should avoid this play. mainly because

1) your reads will never be 100%
2) if you are wrong about overcard read, you will be 4:1 underdog
3) you can put MUCH better spot to put the money in the middle vs these guys according to your descriptoin
4) that cold call shoudl ALWAYS ring alarm bells in your head. you should have known that this guy cleary does not have the logic/skill to fold to allin bet being loose-passive player he is.



no offence but you are far way from playing instinctual poker. you gotta know the fundementals/odds first before you approach that level 3 thinking and start playing the players.

please realize 88 isn't AA..66 doesn't even beat random hand and 88 ins't so far away from 6.
