Hand 1: Raise flop harder with flush draw out there, Get it in on the turn against the shorty...

Hand 2: River block for 3.20, fold to more than a min-raise... why are you so shortstacked??

Hand 3: FWIW, fold this pre more often, you're gonna be absolutely OOP for the rest of the hand. Min-re-raise blows. re-pop to at least $8, if he's still along for the ride, slow down on that turn, probably have to fold if he's betting aggressively...

Hand 4: Re-buy!! I don't like completing in the SB with unsuited gappers, save these for positional advantage...Rest of hand is goot!!

Reason for this? You are potentially losing a lot of value with big hands that hit you early on. (I can't count the number of times I've just sat at the table and got dealt QQ+ within the first 4-5 hands)
