  1. First one from the $27.50. I have been mid to short stacked for the last 2 levels. Recently moved to a new table, less than an orbit played.

    Disregard the minraising crap preflop, I was multi-tabling and thought he shoved and I was clicking call. Is anyone taking a different line here than raise/call shove with my stack? Limp/shove?

    Second hand is from the $22r. Villain has been opening a large amount of pots. Two hands before this he raised, xbonezx called, and I "squeezed" with KK from CO, both folded.

    Taken the fact that he realizes that I realize he is opening light, and the prior hand where I seemingly made a move on him, does that make this a call? I figured so, and I didn't think about it much at the time because I can put his 4 bet range here as pretty wide IMO, something like AJ+, 88+, KQs even. Any thoughts?

  3. hand 1 is a shove obv anything else is pretty bad imo

    hand 2 is obviously standard against the opponent you describe, although against a random/unknown i strongly consider just a call pre
