Re: My first 6-max experience in ssnl (lc)
I just started playing the NL 25 6 max as well and have been pleasantly suprised. Do you know of any good threads concerning how to play 6 max compared to the full ring games?

Re: Raising Preflop in microlimit games
I think there is definitely some truth to this and also how I have recently been playing. I don't really like raising with AQ or AJ unless I have good position, mainly because it isn't a hand you...

Re: Giving a friend poker lessons - topics?
I think you should stick with the tight approach to play, specifically preflop because he is just starting out, give him a set of good starting hands from positions. (Jones WLLH has a great section...

Re: Too passive with KK?
I think that you didn't necessarily play the hand badly, but that you just didn't get any information as to what villian has. I would be tempted to put in a raise on the flop, or atleast a 2/3rds...

Re: PP25NL, I Am So Weak
Pot the flop, the more expensive you make it for the flush draws the better, especially since you have the A of hearts. The rest of the hand is very weird, and I think I would be inclined to slow...

Re: Not getting enough value
I like both of these hands and how you played them. Hand one I might be tempted to smooth call his flop raise and then try to reraise him on the turn, hoping he leads out again. Hand number two I...

I only like to play AJo in late position and generally I will put in a raise to try and steal the pot right there. I don't like cold calling raises with it in any position, and will occassionally...

Re: How do you play big hands out of position?
Looks pretty standard to me, although I have trouble with these as well. On the flop or turn I may go for a check raise here, but a lot of times I won't get any action when I do that. Also you risk...

Re: Slow-played set - could I have made more?
I think you got the most out of the hand that you could of, I don't think he would have made a bet at the pot on the river so I don't think the check raise line would have worked and like how you bet...

Re: Common overpair situation
It would be my tendency to push this turn, with no Ace on the board, I think at this point you have the best hand. I can't put him on 99, he may have A9s, or possibly 109, but I think the only way...

Re: 1/2 NL Hand with KK
Good discipline with the check. Just curious how many bets and how much money you would call down with your KK hand, or would you fold to a bet here on the flop?

Re: A BB Special: Like it or hate it?
I don't like it. I am folding this if not preflop, then definitely to a reraise on the flop. Hope it worked out and your ace was good, but if you don't hit that ace, I think you are just giving...

Re: Pocket 10\'s
Call, from the preflop play I don't think he has a higher pkt pair than you, unless he is trying to be sneaky, he most likely has a strong ace, get your money in while you are ahead.
