[img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] I don't play 3/6 yet, but as a 2/4 player I'm very interested in your troubles because I have the bank roll for 3/6 and am biding my time. First of all, 5000 hands is nothing, and you know that. You cannot deduce anything at all about your ability at 3/6 with so few hands. Get to 20k and then we can begin to talk.

From now on, I will sit down only if I can get a seat 1 or 2 players to the left of the fish, otherwise I will pass on the table until a better seat opens.

This makes no sense. You want the fish sitting to your left so that they'll cold-call your raises, but rarely reraise. Similarly, they'll keep calling and go to showdown with weak hands. It's the maniacs/LAG's that you don't want on your left.

Selectively semistealing from MP2 on with hands like A9s or ATo. I have done this too often without considering the types of players yet to act.

But you are correct to open-raise these hands from middle position. Folding them is weak-tight. What's probably happening is that you're running into stronger than normal hands from your opponents over the last 5k hands and getting 3-bet a lot has tainted your judgement.

Tightening up my SB calling standards.

[/ QUOTE ]
Yeah, I've noticed that the SB is only $1 at 3/6.

Proper use of the checkraise to thin the field. Too often I have checkraised on the flop when the pot was large and chasers were correct to call even 2 bets cold.

[/ QUOTE ]
This is the "I can't protect my hand" fallacy. Just because they can still call doesn't mean you shouldn't still check-raise.

[ QUOTE ]
Open limping with weak suited aces only at the proper type of table (loose passive).

[/ QUOTE ]
Were you open-limping the little suted aces at 2/4? [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] I don't get away with this now at 2/4, and gave it up when I moved from 1/2.

Lastly, I'm skeptical about how big these leaks are, except for table/seat selection. The issues you bring up concern your preflop play, which isn't very important if you have half an idea of what you're supposed to be doing. If you're like me, then your real leaks are coming from your postflop play, like not going to showdown often enough.
