Perhaps you should have tried less hard to impress us with what you think is the right way to play six-max, and just ask a few specific questions. Those we can answer.

My post was short on specifics and rather terse on the generalities it's true.

Perhaps, as soon as you are done not impressing people, you can look up terse. Though dictionary.com is weak, it will probably work. Of course, m-w.com is better, and if a subscription is available, the OED the best.

As for hand selection, there is no time in 6 max to wait for ‘playable’ hands, if you’ve got the table on the run raise from the button with almost anything. I woudn’t call UTG with J3 but I would in a passive game with 89o.

IMO, you should still be throwing away cheese like K9o, 98o, unless you're stealing with it.

Someone posted somewhere that "suited connectors are a leak in 6-max". I think that's pretty good advice.

I would advise never limping in unless the table is REAL passive. Fold or raise.

this post is from a player who also struggles with 6 max. but i think your looking too deep into what strategy to use and over looking the basics. U still must pick and choose your hands, but like someone else posted they aren't the same hands as 10 handed. all 6 max players are going to be aggressive and u must be too, but i think the most important ability in a 6 handed table is the ability to read the texture of your opponents hands, your getting more info than in a full game and need to use it to your advantage. The real successful 6 max players know their opponents and use every piece of info to their advantage. if your no getting the results u want u probably aren't reading your opponents well.

Awful man.

You need to tighten way up and be more selective with agression when you have position.

Doyle Brunson is my idol! And this quote from warlockjd is also very good!

For example, I rarely see more than 29% of the flop at 6 max (not vpip).

Sounds like you are treating 6 MAX more like final table 6.

How LARGE of a BUY IN max are you playing?

If it's sub $100, FPS should be avoided, IMHO.

Do a search on short-handed play and take in as much as you can.

Personally, it's a flop game for me.
I can outplay most, after the flop.
Don't forget your continuation bets.

I've settled down in 50 dollar, which I'm confident I can beat. Moving up to 100 soon as my bankroll allows
