According to the Theorem of Blind Stealing by MJ (http://teamfu.freeshell.org/tournament/theorem_blind_stealing.html) you open-push with all hands in the SB, if you or the BB has less than 13xBB .
So with less than 13xBB I'm in an agressive all-in modus.
With 5xBB your in desperation modus. You're looking for a steal oppurtunity, not cards acording to Lou Krieger (http://www.cardplayer.com/poker_magazine/archives/showarticle.php?a_id=14503).
Lou Krieger (http://www.cardplayer.com/poker_magazine/archives/showarticle.php?a_id=14503) also mentions that if your are in the BB with 3xBB left, and the SB open raises you all-in, you have to call without even looking at your cards.

Sklansky also advocates folding [9/images/graemlins/heart.gif 8/images/graemlins/heart.gif] UTG when short stacked.

Q2: When you're playing agressive short stack, how do you play on the Button, with a limper infront? </font>
