    Q1. How do you play shorthanded against someone who raises and re-raises every hand on every street in a limit game and see's every hand down to the showdown? Do you limp in with more hands and milk them for value when you hit something? or do you wait for premium starting hands?

    Q2. How should you play early in a tournament when you have a big stack? I always seem to build a big stack in the first few levels then it either dwindles away as i play more hands or i just keep it until mid way through the tournamnt when its just average.

    Q1. I don't know, i don't play limit.

    Q2. Maintain your rock image and utilise it to steal pots and blinds, if you loosen up as CL/Big stack players will take a view that you are an easy target for a double up.

    If you continue playing very tight they will fear you and will shy away from getting involved in pots with you.

    Of course when you have don't shy away from getting involved in multi-way pots with medi-ocre hands, just make sure you do not commit your stack unless you hit/catch hard

    Q2. I don't know, I don't get big stacks.

    Having a big stack does not mean you should automatically play more hands, and those hands that you decide to play should only be played if its gong to be profitable to do so on a CEV basis, not based on whether you can afford it or not. So if a shortstack raises all in and you have KJs, you should only call if the odds dictate that its going to be a profitable call, not based on the fact that they look pretty and its not much of your stack.

    Having a large stack does increase your options though, and can be used to make your opponents fear you.
