His M is 3 here -- I PUSH with almost anything here PF if it is folded to you - and you definitely push with KK.

I hate for my M to get this low... After it gets down to 5 you are in deperation mode... I'd rather raise pots or push when it's around 6-8 -- pick up some blinds and antes and give yourself some breathing room.

With an M of 3 and KK you get your money in PF any way you can -- even with callers in front of you. Push and pray!

I like the limp with so few chips, I hate the fold on the flop.

I mean unless he had some sick read that the guy had a pair of aces, you gotta call. But limp on the flop is great, you will double up a lot of times whereas, there is more likeliness to fold if you push.

I hate the limp - you are letting the BB in for free with hands that he would normally fold. If he hits the flop and you bet he will call. Otherwise he may fold and you are losing value. Just shove it PF - if everyone folds, fine - if they call and you double up, great.

Limping is bad on so many levels. Pushing is superior even if the table is loose - if you get called early, chances are someone else will tag along as well, getting nice odds to do so. When in doubt, PUSH IT.
