6-Max Preflop Hand Selection
Just a few polls to see what the standard hand selection is for 2+2 6max players. Please don't reply if you are a consistant loser in 6 max NL games or if you are exceedingly LAG. Assume that the tbale is of an average tightness and you have no reads...
Edit: I know some of the answers seem silly but please take this poll seriously (AA everyone plays UTG, just made too many options accidentally). Thanks |

Re: 6-Max Preflop Hand Selection
2 people so far fold AT off preflop, that's one where I'm always very unsure, the T is a face card so I have a mental block that tells me it should be a good hand, but I feel like the fact that I always play it might be a leak.
Edit: Also stunned at the amount of people plaing 22-55 UTG. |

[/ QUOTE ] [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] the FAQ~ Q: I've heard other posters mentioning the 5/10 rule. What is it? A: The 5/10 rule is an important no-limit concept that first appeared in Bob Ciaffone's excellent book, "PL & NL Poker." To quote directly from the book: "When contemplating calling a raise because your position is good, you have a clear call if the raise is less than 5% of your stack, and a clear fold if it is more than 10%. In between those numbers, use your judgement." It's a good rule for calling a preflop raise with a pocket pair in hopes of hitting a set. The driving force behind the concept is the implied odds in a given situation. If you get your set, but the opponent only has 5BBs after the initial raise, calling to hit the set in the first place is incorrect. |

Re: 6-Max Preflop Hand Selection
Thanks, gonna head to the FAQ and read through that now.
Thing is though, even knowing that I still think the play is wrong since I said UTG, meaning you will face a raise a fair amount of the time and your position postflop isn't that great. But I folded 77 today to raise that was about 3% of my stack, which I wouldn't have done knowing this info. |

Re: 6-Max Preflop Hand Selection
Raise QQ-AA from anywhere. Raise JJ from late. Limp all other pairs looking for trips - will call upto 4xBB assuming player has a sufficient stack - at least 15BB.
Limp Ace suited from anywhere looking for nut flush. Limp king suited from late. This assumes a weak table without a lot of preflop raising. |

Plus you can dump that crappy pp if you miss the flop as opposed to when your Axs catches a flush draw...........All my pp from 22-AA are winners for me over the 75k hands I hand logged in Pokertracker. |

[/ QUOTE ] Is raising TT-JJ UTG generally accepted as a mistake? I do this standard. So f-ing happy I made this thread, folding loads of PPs I should be playing. |

[/ QUOTE ] I think that if playing 22 UTG is a mistake in 6max, then it's a very marginal one. PPs kick ass in NLH. Also, I'm the only one who is playing Ax suited UTG. I do this only with the right conditions. These include: 1) passive non-raising table 2) I have weak players to my left who I can outplay 3) people are paying off hands like a made flush when they shouldn't 4) stacks are relatively deep |
