Villian is loose-passive. I have a TAG image. Any input would be awsome because I never know what to do here.

What range do you put him on? He may be just making a move at your blind and the limpers. That possibility, plus your hand, I'd be tempted to repop to $1.25

You'll have position on him, but you may run into a problem down the road because of your chip stack.

AK versus AA, KK is pretty rare. I'd say he's on TT-QQ, AQ. if he hardly raises at all, only with AA-QQ, you'll have to give him credits. Against a range of KK-TT, you're about 41.07% to win.

There's $0.80 in the pot. it'll cost you $0.50 to call, plus you have position on him, his stack has you covered, I'd proceed with caution though. Call simply for the odds(assuming you put him on KK-TT) and reevaluate on the flop.

You check your HUD stats and see how much he's raising... if he's like dakota-xx and raises 1% of the time pre-flop, you can safely fold. He's out of position and is likely therefore to have a stronger hand than he would raise with in late position.

However you have AK, one of the best hands in hold'em, so a re-raise is in order. If he pushes you have an easy fold... except for the fact that you're playing short-stacked and would be pot-committed. I don't know, I don't much like re-raising here just due to your stack size and your lack of fold equity. It's either shove, or call and take a flop tbh.

You said he was loose passive. If that read is dead on, it's easy push over the top for me. Yes calling is a nice option at winning possibly even a bigger pot, for you might get one of the limpers to call, and you might hit on the flop, but their are too many might's for you to actually want to simply call. The move should be push, if he's a loose passive player then he's pretty much throwing dead money in the pot, wanting to jack up the pot size and knocked out people so he's HU with someone, and so he can fire again.

I think it's an easy push all-in here to take down the dead money.

(But then again, at the moment I just got home from late night out, bit out of it, so I might not even know what I'm typing right now).

Hmmm I dunno here Jim, a 3-bet is going to cost you at the very min $1.30, your gonna be OOP for the rest of the hand with $4.00 left. A decent c-bet on a missed flop will have to be $1.50+ leaving you with $2.50 and odds to call a shove.

Ive gotta say based on your stack size that it a call, an an attempt to hit a flop cheaply, this hand demonstrates one of the many perils of playing shortstacked. Shoving Pre.Flop would be ok(ish) as well I suppose.

I was on the verge of tilt and I try not to rebuy when I'm tilting because I end up busting. What if I just rebought and had a $10 stack?

Oh, I didn't check his raise percent but from what I've seen is that he calls a lot and doesn't raise but not many pots were limped that far.

Three bet light, fold to a reraise, if called lead the flop for 2/3rd's of the pot, if you hit or not. Re-evaluate to further action.

We've got the sb raising PF here; if we reraise to ~1.50 or whatever, we can isolate against him and get it HU with position. I do agree though with the shortstack being a pain. We have no maneuverability (sp?) with a stack this small.

Ok...similar hand here but I have a decent stack and I'm out of position. PT rates him as Loose-Aggressive. He has a 9% preflop raise but he's only gone to showdown with 10-10 when he raised.
