(1) You're short-stacked in the big blind. How small does your stack need to be to put the rest of your money in without looking at your cards?

(2) You've got a healthy stack in the big blind. A short-stacked player goes all-in, and it's folded around to you. How small does the all-in bet need to be for you to call with any two cards?

(3) You've got a healthy stack in the small blind. The big blind is short-stacked. How small does the big blind's stack need to be where you should call or put him all-in with any two?

(4) When else should you consider playing any two cards? (Assume your name is not Gus Hansen.)

1) ... its all about pot odds here obviously... if you are getting more than 2:1 on the rest of your stack with limpers I probably push... unless its raised to me with junk I might fold...

2)Again, I would say if you are getting more than 2:1 on your money to call that I would call it

3)If he has less than another big blind left I probably push all in with any two

4) If at anytime where there are enough limps to roughly equal what you have left... I push... it will be difficult for people to call, and if you somehow get multiple callers, they will likely be eating each others outs with AJ-AK type hands

Also, anytime you're in late position to no raises and several limpers I probably play any two..

when u have a large stack, and there is a very shortstack on the bubble, the other players are trying to just outlast the shortstack.. so a push all in against them might be a good idea as well. so u can take there blinds.
