Common top pair situation
CO is 34/21. I don't know anything about him postflop
Button is loose and his cold-call really means nothing. Party Poker 1.00/2.00 Hold'em <font color="#0000FF">(6 handed)</font> link Preflop: Hero is BB with K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises</font>, Button calls, <font color="#666666">1 folds</font>, Hero calls. Flop: (6.50 SB) 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> Hero Just not sure what the optimal line here is. |

I've never played six max so I could be way off... Here I would check with the intention of raising. CO will call your check raise with under pairs, even more so if Button folds since he will worry that you are semi-bluffing the flush draw. Also, on a K high flop CO might bet some Ax hands that he would fold for 1 bet. I doubt that this gets checked through, but if it does it's not so bad since few cards can hurt you. |

Re: Common top pair situation
This is a good spot to c/r. You'd rather not have button hanging around.

I think, c/c the flop if BU is still in. c/r if it's HU or CO checks. Bet\fold the turn UI. c/r improved if BU is still in. I bet bet/call HU improved. EDIT: I'm not stoked with a c/r on the flop other than HU. I'm going to have to call a 3bet and c\f the turn UI. I think I'd rather save that 1BB and keep my hand hidden for the turn. 2nd EDIT: If my c/r is called on the flop. I'm still bet\folding the turn UI most of the time anyway. |

[/ QUOTE ] It looks like you're implying a check-raise will be more effective here at folding out the button, but C/Ring here traps button as opposed to facing him with two. I still value check-raise though in accordance with Aaron Dubya's recently linked 'betting into the pfr' discussion. |

The link refers to times where you limp in and the player immediately after you raises and you're in a multi-way pot. |

Re: Common top pair situation
According to your stats, he looks as if he has a pretty wide pfr range. With that said, I'd go for the flop check/raise and re-evaluate a 3-bet on the turn.
If he likes to raise a lot when you play back at him he's probably a bully, then I'd be calling down. If I improve, I'd bet out and 3-bet the turn. But generally, calling down non-A turn and river seems okay to me. Since I'm new to 6-max, I'm unsure if generally calling down when an overcard like an A shows up on later streets is okay to do HU/3-way. |

Re: Common top pair situation
To Me preflop looks like late position aggression vs the blinds.
Check/Raise the flop. I think the aggressor will bet in an effort to continue his bluff. It also allows you to trap the button for one more. I lead the turn and re-evaluate |
