its the biggest I've seen, hands were AA, QQ, and 66, all were trying to slow play the flop I guess.

This is not only remarkably unlikely, if true it's borderline criminal. This pot should've been 40BB+.

I know this, but I was worried about AQ, AA, QQ, 66, and A6, since these players would call with anything, I do agree that I had no idea what they may have had, but was just gun-shy on the flop. Raising would have at least given me some information as to where I stood. Just pointing out the hands they had, as I thought this was why the pot got so large.

If I raised the flop and call a cap on the flop, what do I do on the turn if it is bet and raised to me?, at that point I have to call with all the money in pot, but with the expectation of being re-raised and capped. Then what do I do when its 2-bets more to me on the turn?

I've seen 4 different 120BB pots at .50/1. I'm 0 for 4. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

I think I am playing decent at 6max, after 1249 hands my BB/100 hands is 14.71, but I can see that there is much room for improvement. Thanks guys.

Grunching:

Preflop is fine. I would raise the flop, if its 3-bet or capped I would check/call the turn at least.

Now on the turn you're only behind to a set of Q's, trip 6's or AQ (the most likely), or AA. I'd stay to the end with this big pot.

Listen, you were playing scared, and you wound up folding when you shouldn't have the way the hand was played. The facts that (a) you would have lost and (b) everybody played this hand like crap are immaterial. If the flop had been capped and everybody was still going nuts on the turn, then you probably bail out. As it was, you needed to find a raise on the flop or turn.

And, again, your small sample size to the contrary notwithstanding, this is not a remarkably large pot.

Many posters here play that many hands in a session. Your results after 1200 hands, particularly playing 6max, have absolutely no correlation to whether you're playing well or badly, and are not any sort of predictor of your future success.
