1. Complete.
2. Fold at a tight table, call otherwise (assuming top 3 get paid).
3. Fold. You need a stronger hand to push.
4. Call. Too many chips in the middle.

I assume the payout structure is the same as Party? If so this is what I would do.

1. Raise to 200
2. Fold
3. Fold
4. Fold

You call the last but not the second? In both you are roughly getting two to one.
How many chips do you need to have to call the second?
Do you call with any two in the fourth hand or only with suited, connected, or high cards?

1. Raise to 200.

2. Fold, if you call and loose you are severly crippled and two out of the money.

3. Raise, you're short and you have the blinds next.

4. Fold.

1. complete (dont want to build a big pot OOP with AQ).
2. fold (despite good odds, you are crippled (<2xBB) if you lose this, so its a fold on the almost-bubble).
3. push (you have king high and you are about to be demolished by the blinds. this is the last hand that you have fold equity. definite push).
4. fold. same as in #2, a call cripples you if you lose, despite having favorable odds. the difference between having 2400 and 1600 chips at this table is considerable. i think this one is close though.

Yea. I made a big mistake of not mentioning the importance of stack sizes.

In the second hand, I argued that you should fold at a tighter table (where the range of pushing/calling hands is much smaller) for two reasons:
1. There is a much higher likelihood of your 44 being crushed.
2. You'd have T2800 by folding and still have a good amount of fold equity.
However, at a loose table, where the range of pushing hands is wider, a call is fine with about 2:1 (3600:1600).

The fourth hand, there's 2300 in the middle and you need to call 800, roughly 3:1 odds, not 2:1.

Blinds are actually 200-400 in this one.
Seat 8 had T1300 as well.
Sorry about that.
