Every one of these is totally standard.

first 4 are perfect

5 is okay if he limps a lot

6 looks thin but fine

why are all the 16 multi tablers finding out about 2+2?

STOP LEAKING IT OUT PEOPLE, GEEZ

Hi AMT

-- I have been reading 2p2 for over 2 years, registered for about a year I guess... I just figured I would start posting now that I have read a good amount of the posts.

I don't know your ps name, if I did, I would happily avoid you.

Regards,
~Zeke

I don't like raising less than all-in on 4, but otherwise I agree.

Also, quit playing games where you're on the bubble with the BB at 600/800/1200. :-) Maybe I'm just lucky, but I don't recall very many of these where the bubble is at 400, and 600 or more is even more rare. I have a much harder time with the games where the bubble is at 150 or 200 (no ante) and I can't just open-push all the time.

Agree with your plays with exception of #5.

As stated by other posters, I might check PF on #5 depending on read. In fact, with no read, I think I would check.

Yeah and don't raise less than all-in on hand 4, although it doesn't matter a load.
