Question on Mid Pocket Pairs.
This hand worked out perfect for me, though I am unsure how to act in the situation normally.
With me having the short stack (i know, no reason to have a short stack, rebuy when you get low), Do you still limp in middle position fearing the raise, fold fearing a re-raise, or raise trying to take control of the hand? I'm not sure how to play this situation even though I realize I should not be in it to begin with.

Final Pot: $51.75
For some reason I thought this guy was just trying to steal my pot, that is until 5 seconds after I hit the "raise" button and then realized that his horrible mini raise after so many limpers most likely meant a misplayed AA or KK.
I haven't made many horrible mistakes like I did on this hand, but I know that poor play like this is the result of the downswing I am on. When I look through my sessions and see a hand like this, it leads me to believe I need a few days off.
So, with that, next week I will be picking this challenge back up where I left off.
