1 and 3. I don't know enough about playing shortstacked to know whether or not 2 is good, it's probably fine.

[tiger_hall]

seems fine to me.. although hand 3 ur bet should be 3/4 of the pot... hand 3 i wud be folding though pre flop

Thanks,
I like hands like the one in hand3 if I can see a cheap flop. I wouldn't call a raise nor reraise but I like to limp with hands like 57s or 79s.

Fold preflop in hand one,
two is ok,
either raise or fold 3, limping is lighting money on fire

I usually would fold hand1 preflop but with 2 limpers I think I can pay the 0.50 to see a flop. I'm getting 7:1. Or am I wrong??

You may be getting 7 to 1 to see the flop but problem is its a reverse implied odds spot. The pots you win are going to be smaller than the ones you loose just cause you make alot of second best hands. Also its hard to play such a weak hand OOP, ie on a J high flop etc

[Number27]

Alot of the value in suited connectors and one gappers comes from fold equity against tight players. It also builds the pot for when you do connect.

Edit: Sorry, wrong quote. Anyway you should be raising suited one gappers against limpers or folding- not limping behind.
