Do you usually call the river raise ??

Do you still call the river raise or lay it down ? No read on vilain since I'm multi tabling..

heh. call this river everytime. i call river raises routinely with MUCH weaker hands than two pair.

[joker122]

are you kidding? you beat so many hands he would raise for value here. call 100% of the time.

[ArturiusX]

All day. I see T3o in these situations often.

wasn't that sure... I mean it seems to be an easy call but 90% of the time when they turn raise or riiver raise, I'm beaten...

Yes I only have 25k hands played so far... My results sucks compared to full ring 1/2

After 50k hands 1/2 8 tabling I was +3BB/100
After 25k hands 1/2 6max 8 tabling I'm -1BB/100
I never folded to a river raise but I wasn't so sure it was worth it anymore. It seems that they always suck out hehe... It's pretty not rare to see someone calling with 7-3o all the way down to catch a 7 on the river and beat your pocket 5 when you are SB vs BB. Anyway I'm working hard on my play /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Hmmm... Did you try cutting it down a few tables? 6-Max takes a lot more effort for me atleast. I won't do more than 3-4 tables for 6-max and no more than 2-3 if its 3/6 or 5/10.

6-max should be a bit more profitable than full-ring games because so many people play it wrong (speaking of the lower-limits on that note).

try playing 10k hands or so just 4 tabling, maybe open up 4 full-ring games as well and glance over to those while focusing on the 6-max?

I have 25% VPIP. I play a fit or fold on the flop unless the pot is big enough to call a bet on the flop with overcards (if the flop is rather raggy) . I usually have no reads that why I never bluff when you see people calling you down with 7-3o on a A-rag-rag flop, I don't even try to bluff them when I have nothing (no pair, no draw). That is probably a leak in my game. Since there is quite of lot of players like that in 1/2 6max. I'm not sure playing that way is a good thing to play a fit or fold strategy... Anyway I will play a few more thousand hands and if I'm still in red I will just give up some tables or SH completly.

Thanks for the comments
