Default Re: TT preflop fold

[ QUOTE ]
Reads are much more important shorthanded because the bluffs are coming at you at appoximately the correct rate in the 6 max games. Which is not to say that most players bluff at the correct frequency, but when the population is taken as a whole, the raises coming at you are bluffs at close to the "right" (game-theory-wise) rate. So it's very important (more so than in 3/6 full for instance) to know who bluffs too much and who bluffs too little.

This is true. But the main difference between full tables and SH is not that they dont bluff enough at full table, at higher limits the full table will of course be filled with people knowing how to bluff at "a correct rate".

The difference is that SH there will much more often be a flop that hit noone. You play much more HU and 3way and u have to bet with much less and since u are up against fewer players u have to bluff more.

Simple. You are defining your hand to others and can gauge their responses to you.

If you cap it for instance and an A flops and you get check/raised or raised, pretty easy fold.
If all rags come and they are just calling, you are probably ahead of overcards. Or if you get raised on the turn on a rag board you are probably against AA/KK. Stuff like, I can't go trough all the permutations - but it makes it easier.
