A hand I have trouble playing in 6max is Ax on the button after limpers- no limpers I'm raising close to 100% of the time to steal the blinds, but I'm never sure what to do with it after limpers. I fold to the preflop raise, and in looking at PT I'm winning with it on the button, but I'm curious how others play it. So how would people play the following hands:
1) Ax after 1 limper
2) Axs after 1 limper
3) Ax after 2+ limpers
4) Axs after 2+ limpers
assuming no reads. Also, would you rather play Ax with x<6 for a wheel draw, or x>5 for possibly taking down a rags flop on second pair top kicker or something?

1,2,3 fold.


4 is one of the few times I'm tempted to limp and see the flop as cheaply as possibly with the intention of folding unless the flop is friendly.

Rarely happens in the 5 handed games I play but I expect I'll be told I should resist temptation and raise or fold.

It's very depended on limpers. If they are nearly loose I raise A9o+,A5s+ regardless of how much are they.

Here's how I tend to play (without reads)

1) Raise with A8+, fold anything else
2) Raise with A8+, call with A5-A7
3) Raise with AT+, fold anything else
4) Raise with AT+, call anything else

1/ Fold.
2/ Fold.
3/ Fold.
4/ Probably call, raise if you'll be able to take control of the pot. Fold if the players good.

I'm new to 6-max but in a full ring game A8s and up should be raise a lot of the times and I don't think that's any different in 6-max. You can probably lower it even a little...

fold all if they are rags. on 4, if it is A8s or above, raise. never limp here.

cheers!
