I tend to be a sucker for suited connectors, I like them.

Second orbit, no significant reads.

I caught the flop and an inside straight draw. I'm pretty sure I should have bet the flop here, goofed again.

I'm thinking his lead out on the turn is a baby A, or a baby K.

Get out now, call, raise?

Folds preflop. Judging by a few of your threads, I think you're underestimating how tight you have to be in EP in limit. This might work at some NL tables, and some SHLHE tables, but in 10max you should be playing verrry few hands from UTG, UTG+1, and UTG+2.

The bolded part is probably what has me all fricked-up. I played short handed on AP last weekend because I couldn't get into a FR game. It was a hair-raising experience to say the least. Started out playing really tight, soon realized that was not a great way to play short handed when the six times I caught AA only managed to win once. Other top hands didn't fair very well either (AK, AQ, KK, QQ, etc). probably just a sick run of cards but it caused me to lossen up quite a bit and things just got worse from there.

I think the re-adjustment back to tight is a good point for FR.

At a loose table, preflop is fine. You won't find tables online where you can open limp this hand from MP1 though very often.

If you do insist on playing it, raising it is your best option, although I wouldn't get too into that. Folding is best, however.

As played: I would bet the flop. BB's check indicates he didn't catch anything, and MP3 could have a huge range that doesn't always have to have an ace or king.

The way you played it, I think we should just fold the turn. BB could have been going for a c/r on the flop and missed that. The pot is tiny, we've only invest 1 SB, I really don't think we should continue with this.

if you like to play lots of hands, pick this one to raise with.
If the table is loose, to the left, limp is fine. As Zach noted, those tables are not on Stars.

Bet that flop.

Why wouldn't you?
