I think I am giving up too much on TPTK out of position. What do you do with these hands in the face of some aggression?

Check them early and often if they're giving you that much trouble. Sometimes you just have to lay them down. However, you may have a problem with commitment and may be setting yourself up preflop for a fall postflop.

Thinking about this a bit more and after finishing NLHEFP I think more details on how to deal with a medium stack would help. Virtually everything you read is for big stacks or small stacks; in position or the blinds. Heads up or first into the pot. They are always idealistic situations and at low limits not really what I come up against day in, day out. How do I deal with AQs when I raise from MP and get called by the button, blinds and the EP limper and miss the pot? How to play small pairs in MP? What do I do when I raise QQ in LP and get called by 3 people and the flop comes 3 suited but I make a set and the MP limper makes a pot sized bet?

SSHE made such an impact by showing you how to play marginal situations in low limit games and making you a winner by pushing those edges you'd never thought about. I'd love for this to do the same and make people think about exploiting position, implied odds and +EV situations.

1- Deep stack play, especially with overpairs. I think its an area must SSNL posters have difficulty with.
2- Minraises.
3-How to play LAG successfully, metagame, changing gears, etc.
4- defending from the blinds vs LAGs (3betting light OOP and also floating in RR pots)

thanks for doing this

Preflop re-raising range would be nice.

Agree with much of what's already been named above, especially hand reading, sizing bets, and blinds play...

A few other issues I commonly struggled with in small stakes NL games:

- Strategies (both pre-flop and post-flop) for playing against LAGs/Maniacs

- Playing suited connectors and medium/small pairs from middle and late position (both pre-flop an post-flop)...

- Strategies for shifting gears -- how/when to loosen or tighten up at a table effectively
