    Sounds like a really weird structure, with the size of the blinds effectively meaningless. Unless you’re all playing with at least $1k, this is essentially a crap shoot where I’d adopt a very simple strategy (assuming the rules of the game allow it). With our stack of $370 (i.e. a tiny 18bb), I’d basically be shoving it in pre with medium and big pairs and big aces and limping a bunch of suited aces, small pairs and suited connectors, along with broadways. Folding everything else. You can then bet all in when you flop top pair and strong draws.

    TT is an easy reraise all in spot pre flop here. As played, you have to get it in now but not too happy about it. I would strongly advise you to research the basic maths of poker though to help you out massively. Terms like pot odds and implied odds will help, plus you could look up advice on playing a short stack. To reiterate, $370 is a very short stack in a game of this structure.
