All these are from party 5+1 sngs which is sadly all I can afford at the moment.

Hand 1:
Seat 5 is the button
Total number of players : 4
Seat 3: maverickjake ( $3525 )
Seat 5: TimaRayan ( $2005 )
Seat 9: BgRdCwbyHat ( $1960 )
Seat 10: starvs ( $510 )
Trny:12216338 Level:5
Blinds(100/200)
** Dealing down cards **
Dealt to starvs [ 9d 7h ]
maverickjake raises [500].
TimaRayan folds.
BgRdCwbyHat folds.
starvs is all-In [310]

My thinking on this is that if I fold I'm left with 1.5 BB which isn't going to get me very far. I figured I'd just get my money in when I can still win a decent sized pot, and if I'm not dominated or up against a pair I believe I would have to odds to call and allin. I'm not sure about that though, as I can barely add.

Hand 2:
Seat 1: aggiedad07 ( $710 )
Seat 6: carroll1977 ( $2567 )
Seat 7: pjg613 ( $1015 )
Seat 8: IggyPlop ( $3008 )
Seat 10: starvs ( $700 )
Trny:12234251 Level:6
Blinds(150/300)
** Dealing down cards **

>You have options at Table 35252 Table!.
aggiedad07 folds.
carroll1977 raises [600].
pjg613 folds.
IggyPlop folds.
starvs is all-In [400]
carroll1977 calls [100].

Is re-raising with this weak an ace still a standard play? Can't really fold though and leave myself with about 1 BB, can I?

Hand 3:
Seat 9 is the button
Total number of players : 5
Seat 2: Robusto50 ( $1515 )
Seat 6: tripmypair ( $1880 )
Seat 8: dutchboy777 ( $1900 )
Seat 9: cartman101 ( $2020 )
Seat 10: starvs ( $685 )
Trny:12216998 Level:5
Blinds(100/200)
** Dealing down cards **
Dealt to starvs [ 5c 8h ]
tripmypair folds.
dutchboy777 calls [200].
cartman101 folds.
starvs is all-In [585]
Robusto50 folds.
dutchboy777 calls [485].

Not really sure what I was doing here. I thought the BB will probably fold, and maybe even the limper. I probably should have just folded and picked a better spot, I just passed the blinds and would still have 3 bb left which would let me survive a bit if I double up.

Thanks for the help.

The first two are easy stop and go's, where you call the bet, and pray for any kind of fold on the flop.

The third to me is a pretty tough laydown, don't think you have enough chips to make limper fold.

The first one, if he calls, he is already all-in. There is no folding equity there... Similarly on the second, if he calls the 600 bet, he is only left with 100 behind. With that said, I'd probably call on both anyways.

I'd agree here. I think fold the SB is best and wait for a better spot.
