Hi, how are you? Next, although not as beginner would like to ask a question although I think I know the answer. depedendo the situation can afford one, all-in with pocket 22+ when I'm off against AT + this movement will be profitable?

The first question to ask is why are you all in

Yeah, generally pocket pairs are slight favorites against unpaired hands if that is what you meant. But still, getting it in with a lower end of pps range is not always neccesarily a good idea.

I think 77s+ plus is better, just to reduce the odds of getting counterfeited.

22 requires seeing a cheap flop and c/f if you don't hit a set. 222 is a killer and is well hidden but you are 8 to 1 to hit on the flop.

you will generally have a slight favoritism , but nothing too big, the movement of going all in to be profitable is relative and depends not only on the cards , sometimes it's better to play the pocket pairs for set value, all depending on the situation.

I think 22 is perfectly playable if the flop doesn't hit your opponents likely holding. C/F is what you do if you are out of position. Stop playing 22 out of position.

And also, don't play 22 if you're at a table of tag-alongs. 22 sucks multi-way.

AT and 34 stands roughly the same statistical odds (coin flip) agains pocket deuces and that says a lot about the strenght of pocket deuces. Deuces can only dominate a hand that has a 2 (A2, 32, 52...), and you won't see many payers playing these types of hand post flop. Every card on the board that is not a deuce, is a scare card. That is definitely not a good pre flop card, so don't overplay it.

You call a raise with deuces, or raise with deuces from BU/CO mainly as an attempt of steal, and hopes to see a set in the flop, otherwise you are not in good shape.
