How do you guys recommend playing premium hands (aside from KK-AA) when most of the table has less than 100 BB? I have lost a ton of money with AK, QQ, and JJ and was just wondering how I should approach this situation. These short stacks really prevent 4betting and finding out where you are at.

1-3NL
I raise in MP with AK to 15 ($300)
LP 3b to 50
**I normally 4b here to 175; When they jam do I really have a choice? I always assume I have blockers to Aces and Kings but sure enough they usually got em. Should I min-raise to $100 and fold to a jam? If I call a 3b and hit a flop I am still going to be way behind...

Honestly it's just a fold readless at these stakes

I've found that in many 1/3 games people's 3b range is just QQ+, sometimes only KK+. Obviously, this assumption will change once you get specific reads.

Also... I wouldn't recommend betting or raising simply to find out where you're at.
