Re: Short Stack Play
[ QUOTE ]
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.

$40 isnt deep at all in a 200NL. I suggest refilling at that point. But anyways, raising to about $6 or $8 would be good in that situation, throwing out 1 or 2 of the limpers, either way after the flop you have position, and most people fold to a c-bet anyways, so it's all good.
I wouldn't blame anybody for folding in that situation either if you have any reads on the limpers.
