This was a $33... I don't love to push any 2, but did not have my KS charts handy.

I really dislike this push. You have 12BBs, there are better options here. Raise t500 is you must raise, but I don't mind open limping (to keep the pot small) or folding, depending on the villain.

I agree 100% with downtown on this one. When your opponent can hurt you badly if you push and there's no shortstack, I've started limping from the SB in spots like this. If I think that my opponent will let me get away with it, I'll do it for these reasons:

1) To keep the pot small with my marginal hand
2) I don't need the pot
3) My opponent can cripple me if I push and lose
4) Importantly, some opponents are more likely to call
your pre-flop push, but will very often fold after you
limp and bet any flop. It looks less like you're
stealing. Of course, sometimes the flop actually hits
you, which of course is nice too.

Against many opponents, I think the best course of action is call (fold to a raise), bet any flop. If raised on the flop, let it go. You're only out maybe 300 chips or so.

So how much do you bet on flop? Standard 3xbb?
