Is it a good idea to play with a table full of short stacks ?

I had $25 and after about 20 minutes , I was $0 .

Suckout after suckout. The thing is that they see the turn and river for cheap since they are all-in on the flop.

Example,

I raise to $2 preflop with A Q MP.
LP calls me

Flop: A X X pot= 6

She only had $10 left
Hero bets $10
she calls

She shows A 7

Turn: 7
river: 7

I've lost more money today with A Q and A K than any other hand.

Everyone has been hitting two pairs on me with it.

Was this the right play ? It's better than a $3 feeler bet, isn't it ?

Are you posting just for the sake of posting?

Do you realize every single post of yours is exactly the same:

I played these 2 cards: A&B
someone else played these 2 cards X&Y and they beat me.

They're stupid. I sure lose a lot. Bad beats stink. I lost 2 buyins. But I will win it back. (sprinkle with random insult/profanity/bigotry)

I am a little bored. I thought you guys were cool with me. I've been playing poker for 13 hours straight. I'm finishing a bonus but honestly, I wanted to know if that is how you play short stacks. Just overbet the pot and put them all-in . You came to the forum to read posts , right ? What is wrong with one from redpill ?

Fold preflop.

Metaphorically speaking.
