'The correct play would have been open-raise in LP (or MP) or limp behind in LP coz it flops well.
Agree/disagree'
Definitely disagree...you might want to see a cheap flop in the cut-off or button, but to open-raise with JQ is akin to giving money away when you have a short stack.
Its highly unlikely that you will get the blinds to call with a worse hand, and once they called, its also unlikely that you will be able to get rid of them if they have anything. Also, what do you do to a reraise? The risk and return ratio is just not there when you have a short stack and JQ.
If anything, short stack cash games are the most easy to play, IF you play it right. Just remember not to try anything fancy (you haven't got the chips to do so), bet strongly with premium hands preflop, and dump everything else.
Limping and calling with AQ preflop is highly question play when you have 20BBs. Either dump it or better still, raise it up and try to get it heads-up preflop.
