Switching to 6max...standard fold?

[DrPublo]

I decided to play some 6 max last night to see if I like it better than the full ring games. So I drop a limit to 50nl and play about 500 hands. Pretty easy overall I thought. Here's one hand that I thought I might have played weakly. I don't have the HH handy so here goes. Table is loose preflop, passive post flop for the most part (is this standard for 6max tables?)

Hero is UTG with A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].

I raise to $2. Button calls. BB calls.

Flop (~$6.50): K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

I bet $5. Button calls. BB folds.

Turn (-$16.50): [K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]] T [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

I check. Button bets $10. I fold.

Standard?

No, you get a lot of loose action on every round:

Fold a flush draw on the turn against a pot sized bet, never.

Fold to your continuation bet with no hand no draw, never.

Fold to your preflop 8xBB raise with J7o, never.

Ok it's not that bad all the time but it seems like it. What I describe above is not untypicall in the 25 and 50 dollar 6 max.

I must say I find 6 Max pretty tough going a lot of the time.

pretty standard check/fold IMO.

you make a lot of money open-raising in position and winning the pot on the flop with a continuation bet.

I think you're giving up too much if you check fold this everytime, but will be leaking chips if you don't give up some of the time. Tough spot. I'd say fire another $10 and see what transpires.

the likely hands that villain has when he calls the flop are Kx, a flush draw, or maybe JT. you're not folding out Kx or a made flush. you might be able to extract a little value from JT, but that's a pertty unlikely hand.

Well played.
