I’ve pulled today’s Q&A from the comments of another post. Hand Discussion #6 provoked a bit of controversy about whether to move all-in preflop with AK or not. In the actual hand, I pushed, and both my opponents folded.

I would just say to the poster, If you cant rebuy into the cash game, it still wouldnt change the way I played. if i bought in for 100 in a 1-2 game, I would play the same whether or not I had 0 left, or 4 more “bullets” in my pocket. The stack size on the table is important, not whats in your pocket.
It may be a bit of a mistake to play in those games, because you might essentially be playing 50-100 per hand show down, and you only get one shot. Its a bad position to be in. of course, if thats you’re only option as far as game wise, then its tough.
When I was fist playing 1-2 live, that was what I was doing, and in a fast game, i was just roadkill, as I waited for great hands, by then had lost some from blinds, get called by 4 people, and get cracked. I quit playing in the game until I had enough money to rebuy if I wanted and more importantly, wasnt playing with scared money.
My advice would be to find tourneys to play instead, I dont see a profitable way to play in small stakes NL cash games with one buy in.
