Switching it up a little with a STT instead of ring. Again, hope my thoughts and opinions helps you in some way, Effexor.

Good but not great starting hand. We need to make sure we don't get too involved if we flop an ace. I try not to get my stack in with it without 2 pair or better.

If we're raising here then we need to raise a much bigger amount. We'll be out of position the rest of the hand with a marginal holding. This is just a pot-sweetening bet; any potential caller is getting massive pot odds and has to call.

This is a pretty good flop for us. Open-ender plus overcards and a backdoor flush draw. We should be tossing out a c-bet here most of the time. A check behind will give us that free turn card, of course, but we show a lot of weakness by doing so.

Very easy fold. STTs can be played (and won) in many different ways, but in my experience the ideal way to play them is super tight early on, then gradually loosen up as the blinds get higher. We have no reason to get involved here.

Calling for 1/7th of your stack is never good. I say push/fold. We miss the flop ~2/3 of the time and if we're playing this hand, we should try getting full value from it and push to make sure we see all 5 cards.

Very easy fold. STTs can be played (and won) in many different ways, but in my experience the ideal way to play them is super tight early on, then gradually loosen up as the blinds get higher. We have no reason to get involved here.

Calling for 1/7th of your stack is never good. I say push/fold. We miss the flop ~2/3 of the time and if we're playing this hand, we should try getting full value from it and push to make sure we see all 5 cards.
