what to do versus a shortstack

PokerStars 0.25/0.50 Hold'em (7 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is CO with Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
UTG calls, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 raises</font>, MP2 calls, <font color="blue">Hero...</font>

MP2 is LPP, and MP1 has 1 sb left in her stack...

is a raise here kosher? or just toss it?

not sure really, but i'd probably still dump it offsuited.

I personally don't like 3-betting KQ, but will call it on occassion. On the flop, I see MP1 putting it all in regardless of what comes. I play the rest like I would any other.

How loose is MP2, UTG? More than likely I'd still fold, I'd need more details to decide. It's probably closer than I think though. Suited I'd probably 3-bet.

With all those other players, I'd muck.

I'd consider isolation 3bet, though, if nobody else was coming along, since KQo is pretty weak against a raise.
