I think I am in love.
 

I always wanted to play the 1/2 6-max at Party Poker, but have always been busy with 1/2 full ring. Today I decided on a change of plans. I had some raked hands to finish to get my bonus and I didn't want to spend all day accomplishing my task.

For the first time, I hop on the 6-max tables. I decide that I will just 3-table and get used to the speed. Since I started playing poker I always thought I was pretty decent playing short handed, since this type of game involves more post flop thinking.

I continue to play 3-tables and wonder why I haven't been playing here sooner. These tables have people who are: crazy, maniacs, and swarms of loose-passive players, not to mention that almost every hand is raked. While playing, I decide to see a flop with this hand.

I think you could have 3-bet on the flop, although I know nothing about shorthanded play...15 outs to an almost sure win

does sound like fun though... looks like 6max is my next project

Shouldn't this be in HUSH? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: I think I am in love.
 

Yea, 3bet the flop. You're 54% to make a straight or better (by the river). Get bets in the pot.

I don't know if I would touch this hand PF, raise that flop man, your equity is sky high.

I realized my mistake(s) after I won the hand.
