A6s: stay away from it?
 

Not that I'm not happy with the results, but what do you guys think about the pre-flop and flop action? Still trying to build up my STT-game (so that I can keep the stats the way they are now [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] )

Easy fold preflop, you've only got 715 chips!!

Re: A6s: stay away from it?
 

Looks fine,

I like to have 3 limpers in front of me to call with Axs but 2 will do for a six.

A6s plays well with a lot of players. Usually you're looking to flop a flush draw and collect a few chips.

Re: A6s: stay away from it?
 

Fold preflop. Once you're there, I check the flop.

Re: A6s: stay away from it?
 

Maybe I should mention that QPBOY was disconnected and was a sure fold, so there was only one player behind me still to act. And the players were really passive, so I wasn't afraid of a raise.
I was hoping for a flush(draw), and am not quite sure why I bet the flop. If I'd checked and someone bet behind me I'd have to fold... (right?)

Re: A6s: stay away from it?
 

There was nobody left to act behind you, that's why it's "marginally" okay to call with A6s here in the first place preflop.
