Re: Short Stack Play
Playing shortstack doesn't preclude you from limping if you have a situation where you're getting decent odds to call, but a raise is risky or ineffective. Generally you'll be more aggressive when playing hands since you'll be doing it less often, so you'll be limping relatively infrequently, but it's still the best option from time to time.
If you're $40 deep in a 1/2NL game, imagine you're holding A4s on the button after 3 limpers, and the blinds aren't especially aggressive. Folding is too tight here, and raising is more likely to get you in trouble than not.
