We're at the very end of the SnG, down to 2 players, and I have the bigger stack, and I know I am a better player than this idiot. I know I'm going to win eventually with any kind of decent luck at all.

Out of the blue, though, he starts going all in every hand. And I'm not sure how to respond.

In one sense, I know this is a losing strategy on his part. I just have to call him when I have a better than average hand and a better than average chance of busting him out. But even in that case, he does have SOME chance to take a bunch of my chips, get the chip lead, and then beat me. So maybe he thought this was his best chance to win. (Either that or he was just bored.)

OK, so I'm sitting there, giving up blind after blind, trying to decide what sort of hand I want to have if I'm going to call his all-in. What I really want is TT or JJ or better, say. But of course those hands aren't coming.

So -- here's the question. Which hands are good-enough hands to play in this situation?

For instance, I got 22, and mucked it. 22 feels like a terrible hand to play. In a ring game or any time when you can see the flop cheaply, it can be great because when you catch your set you can make a ton of chips. But in a preflop all-in situation, 22 sucks, doesn't it?

Should I play suited cards? Suited connectors? Ax suited? Ax unsuited? Kx? What about JT? Q9?

Any and all thoughts welcome.

(I finally settled for A9o, which was way ahead of his T6o and won for me.)

The kid yelled at him in the middle of the street in town...(the kid had 2 2 preflop) The old gunslinger (had A K off) "Draw, old man!" The wise old gunslinger knew this would probably be a coin flip on who would win, because he'd heard of this new kid. The old gunslinger, didn't want to bet his life on a 50/50 chance, so quietly turned around and walked away. (moral- in NL, early to middle in tournament, don't bet the farm on a 50/50 shot)
The kid went on tilt, 2 days later he found the no. 9 best gunfighter, they both drew... the kid won...Cocky (with his whole life yet ahead of him) and elated he hunted down the no. 8 guy...challenged him...another coin flip...

...next day there was a freshly dug grave in boothill...for the Kid. (moral - keep going all in on coin flips, and eventually you WILL lose, go in twice on 50/50 and chances are 75% you'll lose...save all in's for end of tournament or when you have locks)
The old gunslinger still lives today, enjoying some of the finer things in life...every now and then, he takes down some new kid with his nut hand.
