    Yeah, I play for stacks with shortie here too.

    I usually fold KQo UTG in a full ring game. I actually have no idea how much being 7 handed changes things. Thoughts on this anyone? But after the flop ya I would definitely get the money in against shorty.

    Meh, I've given up on being the pre-flop police. I just don't care and if you play well enough compared to your opponents it's not a big deal.

    It does kinda get old doesn't it? Even when someone asks for advice that doesn't include "Fold Pre-Flop" they still get that. Vinterriket, more power to you if you are able to avoid troublesome decisions with that hand.

    maybe pre flop raise here what do you think guys
    It's easy to shoot fish in a barrell............. Just throw in a stick of dynamite!!

    if the table seems passive preflop with not much raising I will limp UTG with hands like KQ, AT, AJ, etc

    And sometimes rather than limping I will raise these hands. Sometimes I'll fold, it's just based on the feel of the table.
