Many things i'm confused about NLHE 6max

[soko]

Do you ever open limp?

How strong of a hand do you need OOP to bet after the flop (2-3 opponents)? Do you check vunerable hands and not protect your hand simply because you might be behind (weak kickers, medium pocket pairs on rag boards w/ maybe 1 overcard, etc)?

Is there any reason to complete SB with marginal hands with early limpers if you have to play out of position, the best you can really hope for is a hand strong enough to win the preflop calls like 2 pair (1 in 50).

Is it too tight to never play any aces (suited or not) lower than AJ and only from late position? Fold AJo UTG?

I'm sure I will think of more.

you really need to post some hands.

1) do you ever open limp - yes, small pocket pairs only.

2) How strong of a hand do you need to bet after the flop OOP? This is way too general to even begin to answer without writing a 700 word paper.

3) is there any reason to complete in the sb with marginal hands after limpers - yes, implied odds is the reason...suited hands things like that.

4) dude that's way too tight. I raise AJo UTG. I raise AT utg. I fold A9o UTG. In late position I raise any ace if i'm first in.....

Post some hands.

700 words does not count as a "paper" more like a response. Its only 2.5 pages. 1500+ is a paper.

What pairs do you raise with UTG or first in ??

AA-JJ ?

[Moozh]

For 6-max, I would go ahead and open-raise UTG with 66 if the table is behaving. If it's a bit rowdy, I might tighten up to 77 or 88.

[djoyce003]

UTG I'll raise 99-AA, with an occasionaly attempted limp reraise. But i'll also limp-reraise with crap too and show it so they don't always know what I have.

I typically play 88-22 for set value in early position and it's been working for me. I'll raise 55-88 first in in late position, and limp with the other pp's.
