Bad play? Good opportunity?

Well, you shouldn't have this small of a stack unless you just lost a big pot, but anyways...

I think this is fine. The players already in the pot will probably call, but you'd like a chance to triple or quadruple up.

I think this was a donkish move. Your M is 6 which means that you are going to have to play super aggressivly to try and get back into contention but I don't think this was a good spot. UTG min raised, when this happens and you don't have reads alarm bells should be going off, he either has a monster or 66+. UTG+1 smooth calls, which means he probably has a good hand as well. You are going to be on the button next hand which means that you will probably have a better stealing oppurtunity. If UTG players have any type of hand they are calling you have absolutly no FE and your hand sucks against there range. I think this is a terrible move.

I had just lost 2 big pots. JJ on button vs AA in BB. Took me from 3000 to 1800 and then QQ vs AJ took me to 555. Min raise into my BB i called w/ 9dTd and folded to a raggedy black flop.

I appreciate both points, and w/ little - no FE I prob shouldve folded and waited around a few more hands. I saw the odds and saw x3+ on my money. Ran into TT UTG+1 and JJ. oops. thanks for the feedback guys.

Shove this one.

I was going to push the flop if I hit anything at all, but it came Ac 4s 5c. so I check folded the flop.

I think this is fine.

You are getting huge overlay and someone is probably going to shove over the top here a lot to isolate, making this highly profitable.

Some guy, whose name escapes me, is noted for being the best short-stack pot-limit omaha player in the world plays like this a lot. He waits for a hand like this to occur then gets it knowing that he is getting huge overlay.
