Snow and Snow Catcher...
Two hands from the $2500
2-7…Button opens, I 3! 8653, he calls.
1/2. I catch a 7 and bet he calls.
0/1. I bet and he raises. Is this a good enough candidate to call down? I have seen no 2s, so it might be a time where Villain has seen a few…
A-5. Small blind opens, I defend A366x.
2/2. I catch paint, and call a bet.
1/2. I catch another 6 and face a bet.
This last hand some ICM pressure on me, as I was pretty short to start the hand, about 6-7 Big bets to start the hand. (We were still very far from the $, but tournament life is a thing )
More generally, how many pairs/trips should I see before I snow? Is it better to see trips or 2 pair?

Hand 1: Call down
Hand 2: I prefer a 3! bvb with a D2 and a pair. As played folding is fine. I woudl snow having seen one more baby at some point
Hand 1. Am I calling down because I beat enough value, or because I have a good snow catcher (no 2s)?
Hand 2. I would normally 3! here as well, but I was a bit short, and didn't want to face a 4! and be pot committed (yet). I guess I need to see 3 pair/trips cards to snow?
