    I'd probably call unless he had been very tight. He should be pushing just about anything and you're getting a decent 1.6:1 odds on your money. You also need to gain some chips at this stage in order to do well at the final table.

    Edit: Got unlazy and ran it through Pokerstove. Even if he had an extremely tight range of: 22+, A6s+, KTs+, A7o+, KJo+ (about 10% of all hands) you're still at 41% equity. With 1.6:1 odds you need just 38.5% equity to call profitably. Easy call, gambol it up to the final table.
    Some days it feels like I've been standing forever, waiting for the bank teller to return so I can cash in all these Sklansky Bucks.

    This call probably isn't even that marginal.

    It's not that bad of a fold. 22 is only 50/50 against any two. When you start including all PPs and excluding crap hands like 23-2K it gets uglier.

    which is why I said it's a call.

    All I am saying is that a fold isn't horrible. It's not too hard to think of a range you're against here where u r not 40% to win. I.e. if your opp is a 15/5 over more than 100 hands even though his M is only 3, it is very likely you are behind.

    But no reads were given, which means his range is ATC and it's a call.
