It's a love'm or hate'm thing with the shorties. Right now it's a hate'm. At absolute, where you can buy in for 200bb, it makes some of the 70bb types look smaller than they are and I'm probably gambling a little too much. I'm probably a little spewy with JJ/QQ. Then again, they have crap so much.

Hand1:

Absolute Poker
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.25/$0.50
6 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: $73.77

CO: $36.20
Button: $50.10

I think all are fine except two hands I would play different:
Hand #2: I would consider c/c flop and fold to his raise the way it's played. You've probably been had here. Maybe weak, but it is read dependant though.
Hand #4a. I would just call his pre-flop re-raise. He likes his hand and you probably have 0 fold equity. Take a flop, hit your A or K and then stack his JJ or QQ. If you get all in preflop you are allowing him to play his hand optimally. Fold AQ or worse and call with PP where you are a 45/55 dog.
Playing live . . . thanks alot Bin Laden.

 I play them all exactly the same.

Folding hand 2 sucks. If he has a Q good for him. This will be lower pocketpairs, AK,AJ, a 2. If your hand wasn't as strong (AK) I would consider a check/push. You can't give a free card with TT.

Hand 4a: Without a read you have to push (4bet)
