The game is running 3handed at this point, very aggressive with both villains seeming very cally and inexperienced (drawing 2 in small pots on the turn, opening 4card draws bvb, patting extremely rough and paying off against aggressive lines from me). So i have 222xx on the button and raise, obviously intending to snow this hand at some point, most likely the flop. Then the sb 3bets (which he has yet to do without drawing 1 since i sat down), and the bb then calls two cold. Would you ever follow through with the original plan to snow, or just abandon ship and draw 4, hoping to pick up a miracle?

Assuming you drew 4 and failed to improve, would you peel again on the flop if it goes bet-call and you get 11:1 with three of the deuces dead, or just fold right away?

I'm not sure I agree with the open tbh. Playing this hand relies on having some fold equity at some point and playing a 3-handed game against these opponents seems like you would have very little. At the very least, your setting yourself up for an expensive snow. Still with three 2s it seems close.

As played, I think I draw 4. I would peel a 3-c draw, but not a 4-card draw.

I dont really think its very close, i open trip 2`s in every position. Its just so hard for them to be drawing smooth and while its going to sometimes be an expensive snow, its going to work so often just because.

Yeah as played i dont think theres much merit to following through and i rather drew 4. I also drew 4 again on the flop getting 11:1, which i think migh be pretty close but that a fold would be best.
