Low on Chips, Play with AT?

Stack sizes added - sorry about that.

With 885 chips I fold the first time with ATo facing UTG limp. Raising to 200 especially without a plan what to do if someone shoves is pretty bad. Probably should fold with lots of chips as well, actually now I see it.

Welcome to the forums. I think that you have a massive leak which is hard to fix and understandable. You really shouldn't be making 3xBB and 4xBB raises with 15BB or 20BB stacks from early with marginal hands. You need to think about why this is. Here is a hint: you just posted two hands where you raised with marginal hands from early with a hurting stack and you have no idea where you are when RRed. Not to mention, and here is another hint, if you pick up the blinds, it's not a lot. And, finally, if you get called, you may very well be OOP and with a stack that is going to be more than double the pot (not a happy spot either).

Good questions, think about them.
