** Fold 22 from early or middle position with 15-40bb

** Call with 22 facing a limp or prior raise if you're getting 20:1 implied odds or better (this means that you can win 20 times the call amount if you stack your opponent, such as calling a raise to $200 when you have a stack of $4000)

But the showdown equity of this hand is very weak, so if the opponent does not give up, you should not go for a big bluff.
