How the hand played out

Thanks for your comment on the hand below I appreciate your thoughts on raising more preflop. I do agree that stakes do matter here, and that a standard 3xBB raise is pretty much the same as limping, since it’s monetary value is so small, that it’s not really a threat to anyone, even short stackers.
