Hand 1: fold
Hand 2: I would open for 250-300. If you were one or more positions earlier then its a fold.
Hand 3: fold. Yours and villians stacks are not deep enough to make this a profitable call.
Hand 4: fold

Hand 1: I don't see where you are sitting on this table, but in any case, this is a pretty easy fold. There are times you can call a raise with small suited connectors. When that raise represents almost 10% of your stack is not one of them...

Whenever my M is 20+ , I muck AJo UTG at a full table. However, if my M is <20 I open with AJo UTG.

These depend on your reads.

On the 1st $4 with AJ, assuming its folded to you, I am raising usually with that M, especially if table is tight. You keep folding those good hands and you will find yourself going AI with KTo in no time at all.

On the second 4/180(oh you actaully have KT here!), your M is so low that you are getting good pot odds (35% if limper folds).

Surprised everyone is saying fold here - you've just put in the BB so your remaining stack is 450. The guy may well have Ax or 99 or less, so you may have 2 live cards. Don't have pokerstove at work to look at ranges but I think I just go AI here, despite the fact that the guy has won the world series.

I fold on hand 1 and 3

Hand 2, I would probably open since you're getting a little low and need to get aggressive, but I would also say it's not a mistake to fold.

Hand 4 I would push since there's an ok chance you're in a 40/60 or coinflip situation, and you're not dominated often (I don't see him having KQ, KJ, or AT here very much), but reads could change that. Also, you just put in 25% of your stack for the BB. I don't think you can fold any kind of hand very often after that.

For some reason I thought you had much more chips then 600. With only 450 behind you I would definetly call and gamble in this situation.
