A Couple of Short Stacking Hands

the buy in for the MS 2-5nl is 100$ I think that is ridiculously low. Especially because I have trouble remembering specifics, which is key for short stack problems.

I had about 60$ left. folded to the c.o. who limps. I made it 25 to go with K5h. The blinds cold called. The c.o. called.

1. Flop K Js 9s. checked to me. I put my 35$ in. Both blinds called. sb had 107s for a 2-way draw. bb flopped a str8 with Q10!!


2. I had AsJc on the cutoff anda fresh 100$ stack. 3 limpers. I raised to 25$. button cold calls as do 2 limpers...

flop 6c 2 2c. They check to me. 103$ pot and I have 75 left and AJ high.

I jammed it in. any good?

The button called me. he had 64 and I failed to improve. Honestly I don't remember if it was a 64 sooted or not. Make all the difference I bet.

EDIT. They were black cards and the 6c was on the board. I think they were unsuited.

Hand 1 K5s, I'd either fold preflop or just jam it in for $60 if you're feeling ballsy. Raising to $25 commits your stack obv.

Now with hand 2, I'd feel more comfortable making a half-stack ($50) raise, since you have a hand that fares decently at showdown against 1 opponent, and your opponent will be in a tough spot about whether to call flop with worse A-high and weakish pair+gs draws.
The alternative is to limp in and go pot-pot if you flop a pair
