This is a great situation for us to be in from the Big Blind. We have 3 opponents, so we can consider this a multiway pot. With multiple players in the hand it's more likely for someone to make a good hand, so you'll need to make a strong hand yourself after the flop.

Pocket pairs like 22 are very good at this because they can flop sets (three of a kind with two in your hand and one on the board).

Sets are extremely strong hands in No-Limit Hold'em and you should almost always be willing to play big pots with them. However, you won't flop a set most of the time, so you'll want to just call preflop in this spot to see the flop first before committing any more chips.

If another 2 comes out on the flop, you can play a big pot. If it doesn't, you can just check and fold to any bet.

Calling preflop is the best play.
