Re: Cut Back Starting Hands When Frequent Cold Callers are Behind You?
[ QUOTE ]
This is one thing that I find that I have problems with. I know that you would like to be able to sit next to tight blinds that don't defend enough in 6 max games but what about when they defend too much. This should also be a big mistake by them and to our advantage.

It is, but we have to make changes to take advantage of their mistake. Raising hands like J9s or 76s on the button when you know you're going to get 2 callers is going to cost you a lot of chips.
Likewise if you know both players are going to call preflop and on the flop, a hand like A2o unimproved is going to get expensive fast. Limping with this hand lets you get out cheaply when you miss and punish when you hit. It's only a good strategy though when you know that both blinds will nearly always come along when you raise. If you have some folding equity then you should still raise.
