You are immediately to his left and it is 4 handed, you won't have to wait long for a better spot. btw, I think you played great up until that point and were dead on with all your shoves before that one. It's one of those you look like a genius if it works and don't if it doesn't. It is too easy for us not in the moment and with no reads to play Monday morning QB.
It is incredible how much hate I am getting for calling with deuces. People are naturally results oriented and since I lost the race, it seems like a bad call. I can only imagine the the berating I would have received if he had 33 or 44 instead of K9o.
There is 260k in the pot preflop four handed. If I fold, the next time it will cost me 1.6m to call his shove. It is hard to wait for a better spot short handed.

That said, is 22 even close to being in the top 43% of hands? Pokercruncher says it's not even in the top 50%, and it runs almost exactly 50/50 against a completely random hand.
Additionally, as a big chip leader, isn't there an benefit to keeping the short stack in the tournament to keep additional ICM pressure on the middle stacks?
Thanks Nick. The odds of being dealt a pocket pair is 5.8% so it is unlikely he has a bigger pair. Assuming SB is shoving 63%, SS says to call 22+,A2+,K2s+K3o,Q5s+,Q8o,J7s+J9o,T8s+T9o which is top 43% of hands.
The automatic pay jump is an added bonus.
