20 pf 6-max pf decisions

[hicherbie]

first i am assuming that this is an a normal party 1/2 6m table with a lot of people limping in with crappy hands. (and the occasional strong hand)

1. easy easy fold
2. raises
3. folds
4. raises or calls depending on the action you think ull get when flopping a set.
5. raises
6. raises
7. calls
8. fold
9. complete
T. complete
11. raises
12. calls
13. ehh id lean towards fold
14. fold
15. i just think weak offsuit hands are the devil. i'd fold. this would be the lowest nonsuited connectors i would think about limping with though.
16. id probably defend here and call.
17. complete
18. same as 4, with a greater preference for calling.
19. folds
20. marginal call. but this is a pretty crappy hand.

[DeathDonkey]

1. Fold
2. Raise
3. Fold (this depends on the blinds mostly, I might raise)
4. Raise
5. Raise (again depends on blinds and button, this could be a fold)
6. Raise
7. Call and hope to flop well
8. Fold
9. Complete
10. Complete
11. Raise
12. Call
13. Fold (could call depending on UTG)
14. Fold
15. Fold
16. Fold
17. Complete
18. Raise
19. Fold
20. Fold

Explain to me why you fold hand 3 and raise hand 11

[sin808]

I've been banging my head against the wall at 1/2 6-max (and full) for about 10k hands now. So this should be interesting. I've either had incredibly bad luck, or incredibly bad play- probably a bit o' both. So I know my 6 max pf game needs tuning.

I normally just call here. With an A I'd raise.(edit) I don't read good...fold

raise or limp depending upon the table. If it's likely to get folded around and/or get me HU with the BB I'll raise. If the rest of the table is likely to call I'll just limp.

[/ QUOTE ]
This is one of the ones that gets me, A8 or A9 in LP. Each time I raise I run into something like AJ (even without the limper). I'm inclined to raise, but based upon my results I don't like it. So I'm not sure what's correct.

limp or raise depending on who the limpers are. Usually this is a raise though. Again, not 100% confident either way.

calls, I'd need AT at least to cap against most opponents I think.

I'm usually calling this, but lately have been folding if the high card isn't higher than a T- not sure on correctness, I've just run into alot of flush over flush lately. Bad thinking I know.

I normally call here with suited connectors and some suited 1 gaps. I guess it depends on the raising standards of UTG.

offsuit- I'm folding. If there were a couple of cold callers in there I may think about calling. but 90% of the time I'm folding.

I'll usually fold I think.

[hijack]BTW, if anyones interested in swapping some 1/2 hand histories (full or 6max) let me know. I'm bleeding off money there and could use a second set of eyes to help out spotting some of my larger leaks. I'm finding the 1/2 players to be just as bad as the .50/1 players, just in a very different way and I'm having some difficulty adjusting.

Explain to me why you fold hand 3 and raise hand 11

[/ QUOTE ]

Because KJ plays better when I get coldcallers than 55 does, and at 1/2 6max, I'm often getting coldcallers?

[DeathDonkey]

Fold hand 3 because you have no chance to steal the blinds and your hand is marginal in a 3 way pot. Raise 11 because KJo is a good hand and we have the button and they are limping with all kinds of crap.

-DeathDonkey

[DeathDonkey]

Never open limp at 6 max.

-DeathDonkey

[hicherbie]

i think saying they are the same past mp will confuse people. pf agg from any position will be greater. i usually woulndt raise JTs from late position in a full ring game against a few limpers. same with medium pocket pairs. i wont always do this, but i certainly do it often.

of course you will play differently in a 6m game- the hand values are drastically different. your blind equity goes up (which means you could complete and call a lot more hands out of the blinds than normal) and moderate strength hands with showdown potential go up in value as well.

[MrWookie47]

If you've found yourself at a table where the only button that shows up on your opponents software preflop is the call button, the raise and fold buttons are nowhere to be seen, you could perhaps open-limp 22-55 UTG. I can't even make up a situation where I'd want to open limp in MP, CO, or button. As a (very good) general rule, however, don't open limp short-handed (or when it's folded to you MP2+ in a full ring game).

[ClaytonN]

Not the 55 hand, the A4o hand
